Four Weeks

The puppies have been with us four weeks today. That means they are now six weeks old! We can hardly believe they've already been here four weeks--until we look at the "before" pictures.

This is how they looked the morning after we picked them up:


This is the poor little girl who died just hours after this picture was taken:

And here they are today:

As you can see, they're much bigger. They were about one pound each when they arrived. Now they weigh between five and seven pounds each!

They also have wicked sharp puppy teeth, and they aren't afraid to use them.

As adorable as they are, when they're in a playful mood, it's a bit like trying to cuddle a school of piranhas.

Fortunately, they still tire quickly, and spend a lot of time looking just like this.

I'm really going to miss the little guys when they go to their new homes.
