Babies are growing SO much. Everyday they are visibly bigger than the day before
. They're starting to transform into puppies too ... we've had some mini-barks in the last day or two. And, Cruella would be so relieved because spots are starting to fade in. Koufax, right now, is the one who looks most like a Dalmatian but the others not too far behind.
It looks like eyes are just starting to slit open too. I picked up DiMaggio this morning and you could see right in the corner beside his nose the eye was opening up and there was a little gleam of eyeball visible. We've also seen a couple of them - Ruth, Gehrig and Aaron specifically - were actually up on all four legs and taking their first tottery steps today. Aaron made it half way across the pool and then all of a sudden his legs gave out and he ended up rolling across the other half. All I can think of when they're at this state is the old kid's toy Weebles and the saying "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." Well, I guess they're not exactly like Weebles because these guys DO fall down. Everyone is well over a pound now (does that make them Pound Puppies?) and Aaron has actually crossed the two pound mark with Ruth and
Koufax hot on his tail. It's hard to believe but this time next week they'll be up, eyes open and ready to try their first (semi) solid food. You can bet we'll have pictures of that big event. But in the meantime here are a couple we took this afternoon ... you can see how big they're getting and see spots appearing. Too bad you can't be here to smell the puppy breath.

Awww, the pups are growing so fast. Look at all those spots coming in. I can't wait to come see them in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteWish I was there to smell the "puppy breath" and hear their little noises! They are so adorable! What fun to see their "spots" come in!
