The 7-week photos are a little late and shot inside with a flash because the weather is not cooperating.  The puppies, on the other hand, did cooperate.  Mostly.

And we now have new names!  All subject to KC confirmation, as always.

We have names for most of the puppies now, but not quite all, so they will come next week.  This week we have sitting and standing pics - ta-da!

No fanfare, and the most basic of puppy photos for their 5-week portraits, but I've been at work all day and I won't say where Jay has spent most of his day.  Let's just say he appears to have had a bad prawn.  Or two.  Or something.  Luckily I have not been so afflicted, just busy busy.  No profile shots today, then - I'm thinking I was fortunate to get what I did, frankly.  Perhaps we'll try again one day when Jay is feeling a little more over the weather.

The puppies moved downstairs a couple of days earlier than my puppies normally would.  Kaija was feeling a bit left out of things being sequestered away from everyone else but her 7 tiny charges, so down they all came on the weekend.  Kaija has been much happier and more settled since then and happy mum makes for happy puppies and - even more importantly - happy humans!

In between the rain, wet snow and hail showers today, they each had a few minutes out in the big wide world in order to have their 4-week portraits taken, and these photos are the results.  As usual, some are better and sharper than others, but in every case you can certainly see that they are becoming ever cuter, if such a thing is possible.

If you have been watching on Facebook, you will have seen some daily stripes and occasional videos.  This morning's video was particularly amusing as the puppies have suddenly burst into raucous puppy life.  A couple of days of real food has charged them up, and for a few brief minutes after their meals they are stomping around barking, growling and playing.  You can find us on here in the Infindigo Finnish Lapphunds group on Facebook.  And this is what happens shortly after all the rampaging.

And here are the 3-week photos.  Some are not quite as sharp as they might be.  I do try to get them when they're sleepy as it makes it rather easier to get photos, but I appear to have managed to catch one or two of them still in a wiggly mood.
