Eyes are Open

As of yesterday afternoon, all the puppies eyes are open!  As I mentioned in my Instagram post, we forget how cute they are when those eyes open up!  They begin to look so alert and also start navigating the whelping box so much better.  This morning we noticed that they are starting to wrestle with each other and are starting to interact with their siblings...besides using them as pillows and heating blankets:)  We are also noticing that Hazel is starting to space their feeding out more and more.  All indications that they are growing up...too fast for us, but probably not fast enough for all of you! Our kids have had a few days off of school for Easter break.  Many of their friends are going on weekend shopping trips, some even on vacations to the mountains or tropical beaches.  Our kids are very happy just holding and snuggling puppies all day.  I am planning to do an Instagram live tonight, so if you happen to be on your phone, make sure you comment and let us know you are enjoying a little glimpse of your little man/lady.

Here is the first picture we got of our wide-eyed little lady.  This is Gemma...isn't she a doll?

How many little girls can you fit in the whelping box?  Many!  Willow had some girls over for a sleep over last night, and they took full advantage of a fresh change of carpet in the whelping box.  If you were at all concerned about your puppy not being socialized, you can put that concern to rest:)
