3 days old - Tails are now docked and dew claws removed...not a fun trip to the vet. The kids have named the pups...the two boys are Willie and Ben (named after football players...Steelers I think!) and the girl is Sprinkles. The two boys actually already have names from their new owners...Hank and Reuben. But we'll call them Willie and Ben to tell them apart. The collars will be changed in the next pictures...there was a slight "discussion" between the kids AFTER the pictures were taken...seems Sprinkles should have the multi-color collar and a boy simply can't wear a pink collar...so I'll do some minor adjusting to make everyone happy! 

One week old...not much to see just yet. They are very content little pups, very active. Yellow is Ben, Purple is Willie and the striped collar is on Sprinkles, the little girl. They should have their eyes open for the next pictures...

2 weeks old...They finally have some eyes open...and still roly-poly fat! They are really getting around good on those wobbly legs and Ben is already playing...you can see him getting Sprinkles ear in one pic below. Sprinkles is very feisty...and has the same "scowl" on her face that mom Rue had as a pup...very cute! I'll try and get a video posted this week...
