Puppy Update

  The remaining puppy is doing well and growing, growing, growing!  He weighs over 2 pounds!  He wiggles so on the scale, it's hard to get an exact weight.  I found if I roll him onto his back and make him hold still for a couple of seconds, the weight is fairly accurate.  It looks like his eyes might just about be starting to open.  He can stand up and will take a few shaky steps.  For the last few days, he's made some barking and growling sounds!  Sadie still likes her little guy but is not so quick to come when he calls--that's when he starts to barks!  Sometimes, though, Sadie acts like she's ready for something new.  She's back to being a picky eater.  I have to entice her with canned food in her dry kibble to get her to eat.  On Friday, she looked at her bowl of dry food, looked at me and sighed, then walked to the box, looked at the puppy and sighed.  She doesn't want to socialize with her buddies in the kennel but is very interested in the utility work that is happening on our road.  Hmmmm,  I wonder if there is a canine version of a neighborhood book club or a mother's day out that she might enjoy????
Here's some pictures of the big boy at eleven days old:
