Four Weeks Old!




Time is flying by - the pups are four weeks old today! Kopa is 5 1/2 pounds already and Kila is 7 pounds! I just started giving them two gruel meals a day, but they are still figuring out how to eat and aren't getting too much solid food yet. By next week, Jade will finally have a well deserved nursing break because I anticipate they'll really like the food by then. Kopa is still the quiet and sweet one and Kila - she's going to be a handful! I'm working on some new pics!

3 Weeks Old!





Kopa and Kila just turned 3 weeks old on Saturday! Kila is still the bigger of the two puppies, weighing in at 5 pounds, 8 oz. Kopa, the little fella (who isn't so little anymore) weighs in at 4 pounds, 5oz . Kila is the stronger and more vocal of the two. She's always on the go, always curious, and just over the last couple of days has learned how to step up onto the pig rail in an attempt to get out. Kopa is more laid back and he seems to enjoy sleeping and cuddling the most.




The puppies have started to get their teeth and will be introduced to gruel later this week. They are still enjoying nursing on Jade and are still growing like weeds. It's so much easier having a litter of two! Jade has taken this litter with so much ease - having more time to enjoy herself spending time with the rest of the pack and family.




The puppies are still in the whelping box but will be moved to the kitchen "pen" in about a week or so. They like to play and wrestle with each other and they go crazy when they see me come near the pen. They are such a joy!
