I got to see the puppies! We stopped by the breeder's house on the way to Nationals. Puppies were exactly two weeks old and had just opened their eyes, and were trying mostly unsuccessfully to walk. They are so darn cute. One of them is a runt and they are supplementing her feedings, but she's strong and eats a lot so she should be fine. She's everyone's favorite - me because I like her markings and color (she was the first pup I posted on this thread right after they were born), and the breeders because everybody loves an underdog. Momma Sadie was looking much more slim and trim since the babies and was very happy to see us.
Sorry they are so big!
