<  Garth is having some hair issues today.  I think his mother was just giving him a bath.  He loves to sleep on top of the puppy pile.  He goes from pile to pile until one of the piles cooperates.  
Guess he's not the only one.  Next time I go in there everybody will be all spic and span.  It's rather miraculous and it's an Akita thing.  hehe

Reba is still the biggest and the blackest.  Garth and Loretta are the smallest but I'm bettin' they'll catch up in a week or so.  I'll weigh um' before I de-worm um'.

Stayin' longer at the chow line.  Circle.  Chow circle.
They go off to go potty.

Laying with her feet back.  Too cute!  >

< This was hilarious!  Can you see Reba in the middle with her mouth hanging open?  They were crawling all over her and she didn't even budge!
Emmylou
< Now you can see her.
< Still hasn't moved.  hehehe
Pretty boy!
< Now Patsy is laying on her head!  Still sound asleep!
Getting > smushed!
Loretta > decided it's Reba's turn to be the pillow.
< Loretta's even got her foot on Reba's face.  Still sleeping!

Look below!  She's FINALLY waking up!! What a hoot!
We decided to hold off on the visits planned for the 18th.  They're just not mature enough for us to see who's naughty and who's nice.  :)  They'd drive all the way up here and just see more sleeping puppies.

I think I forgot to tell you their weights when I weighed them before de-worming. At two weeks of age. Loretta and Garth were the smallest at roughly 2.25 lbs.  Emmylou and Reba were almost 3 lbs. Molly and Patsy were about 2.5 lbs.  I think you can see Garth and Loretta catching up now that they get puppy slop. 
Reba
Emmylou
Patsy
They're probably almost 4 lbs. by now.  
Eyes opening!

01/16/2020  Two days short of THREE WEEKS! 
Now we're seeing little eyeballs!
The little vampire teeth are comin' in too! That's Loretta chewing on me I think.

Below, Patsy practicing for howlin' at the moon?  At this point, Loretta seems the most aware.

< Garth on top of Reba.  He may have figured out that she's big and squishy soft, or, maybe that you could park the whole toy chest on her and she won't wake up. 
Back to; 
01/18/2020  THREE WEEKS! 
The chow always tastes better on the far side of the pan!
Or, the fastest way to get from point A to point B is through the chow pan!

01/19/2020  THREE WEEKS and one day.  It's like they turned into real little people over night.  Next couple weeks is my favorite time.  Though they already growl, at stuff they're not happy with, they're still mostly unnaughty.  :) Pretty soon they're all going to think their names are, "Now you be nice!" or, "Bite nice!"

No more blankees.  It's time for all newspaper.  They're starting to poo like baby buffalo!  They'll get a little dingy, white = gray, butttttt.....
And, "All Star Wrestling" has begun!
Emmy
< Emmy bullying Garth.  She like, shoved him down so she could lay on him.  That's her paw on his face. 
Reba, first to show up and last to leave.  >
Switched to the big pan.  Seems they're getting too big for that too.  Another week and I'll keep that pan full of DRY Purina Puppy Chow.

Loretta
Well Loretta, that's one way to do it.  hehehe
At least the ratio between food in um' and food on um' is improving.  I know, it's hard to tell. 
Took her a minute to figure out how to lift her back legs over the edge of the pan.  Sliding around...
Boy Boy
They just ate.  As usual got more on um' than in um'. 
This pix is about a week old.  Dolly.  Problem child.  I just found it up above overlapping somebody else.  Must have gotten distracted that day...  Can't imagine!  She's really not a problem child.  She's the first born and may have a longer neck than the others due to tugging on her trying to free her from her mother.  :)  That took a couple years offa' my life. Then she complained like, FOREVER, until I was ready to put her back in!  When you haven't slept, sooo tired...  Happy to report, she grew outta' the whining.  THANK GOD!
01/21/2020  Almost 3 1/2 weeks!  Time flies!

Seems to me there was another picture, a while back, howlin' at the moon?  Was it the say person? 
Emmy Lou beatin' up Reba.  Maybe seeing a trend here too?!??!

I was teasing her.  She's very smart.  Yikes!

Finally, little bears instead of little rats! 
We're supposed to look like bears.  How'd we do? 
Nose all black now?
Pay back.....
