6 WEEKS

We can hardly believe these puppies are already 6 weeks old. It still amazes me how fast they grow. And they are so smart. This stage is the most work, and the most fun. They are so entertaining to watch and play with. They LOVE it when we take them to the grass to play.

We will be going to the vet on Friday for their health checks and vaccinations. I am excited to see what they all weigh now. My scale is to small to put them on. I bet the bigger ones are 7-8 pounds, and the little guys are 5-6 pounds. They are now eating 4 times a day, and doing very well with the food. I have stopped blending it up, and just soak it in water for a few minutes, and they lick the plate clean. In case anyone is wondering, the food that we feed them is ACANA puppy and Junior. I should buy stocks in that company. The food is expensive, but very high quality. There are lots of great foods out there though. So don't feel like you have to keep them on this one. If you are changing food brand, then I will send you with a few days of food, so you can transition them.

Today, my 9 year old helped take the pictures of the pups. I think she did a fantastic job, but not all of them are centered. The pups were to wiggly for her to hold them for pictures. Enjoy!
