Yesterday was kind of a big day for the puppies. First of all they celebrated being 2 weeks old already. Its hard to imagine that in only 5 more weeks they will all start heading home with their new families. They tell me they are pretty excited to meet you in little puppy moans. They also officially opened their eyes. They were pretty glassy looking, but they were definately open yesterday. Last night we also gave them their first round of dewormer. This basically helps to keep them from getting worms, which is pretty common in newborn puppies. I oversaw Maddy and Austin taking care of this job. The Dewormer is given orally so it is pretty painless and easy. At first they would squeel and squirm a little bit but when they got a taste of the Dewormer they loved it. I have a short video of one of the pups licking his/her chops. It reminds me of when you give a dog peanut butter and it gets all over their mouth and no matter how hard the try they can't get it all out of their mouths. Anyway hope you enjoy.
