frick! They're adorable!! So fat and cute!!! And I agree with tim, I am super pumped to see what these pups are gonna be like when they grow up. They'll be astronauts and firemen. ...Or show dogs... but I prefer the former.
I can't believe how much they've grown in a week. You can tell that they've filled out, they're rounder now and starting to look less like potatoes and more like puppies!!
Sabrina's so teeny tiny! And Ichabod is such a chunker! I wonder if these size differences will get more pronounced as they age or if they'll even out.
@hondru While I suspect that Ichabod will always be a big boy, Sabrina seems to simply be 3-4 days behind the other girls. Her growth pretty consistently matches theirs on a delay. I'm sure when 3-4 days no longer makes a difference in weight (eg. when they're a couple months old) she'll be the same as them.
Yes, she was - at least three times. Once before she was offered to me for sale, a second time a day or two later, and then a third time because I wanted a picture of the tie.
I so want to come over and cuddle them. They are seriously the cutest pups. I just die every time I see pics. My mom has decided that she really wants one. Based totally off cuteness of course.
Morticia is going to go to New York to live on an apple orchard and be known as Fuji.
Sabrina is going to San Luis Obispo to live with @king_bidgood! Name is still TBD.
Elvira is going to stay with me. Haven't decided on a Godzilla-themed call name yet.
Everyone was great today. Around the time I normally clean their pen and take the daily photos, I noticed nobody had pooped since this morning and the puppies were very noisey. So I took them all outside, and they did their business in the yard. Such good little puppies! Of course then they had to romp and play, and since my yard is entirely dirt, they got quite messy. So today everyone had their first bath as well. None of them particularly enjoyed it, but they were accommodating little troopers nonetheless. Now they're clean, warm, and dry tussling in their playpen again.
