February 11th, and all their little eyes are open.  They are now starting to crawl out of their box, so from now on it starts to get interesting.

(For more enjoyment, click on the pictures to see larger images.  Some of them are a slow load, but they're worth every second of it.  Use your Back button to return to this page.)

	<-  Supper time.  Brandy doesn't even try to get them back into the box.  She just feeds them where they are. Ever wonder why some pups are fatter than others.  This is a clue.   ->
	<--  Sometimes Samantha is easy to find -- just look for the pink tongue. Sometimes she is not.  Can you find her?  (Hint:  Look at the left side of the box.)  My guess is that she has a lock on one of those big feeders in the back.   -->
	<-  Baron was being a good Daddy.  He started cleaning one of the pups, but when I tried to take his picture, he got embarrassed and backed away. Later on, when Brandy was outside, Daddy came along to tidy up one of the kids.    -->
	<-- Samantha is sorta walking now, and Brandy doesn't look real pleased about it.  Guess she knows that she will have no peace from now on. On the previous page I mentioned Samantha's "dedication to purpose."  It hasn't changed, especially now that she's walking.      -->
	<-- You need to look at the big picture to see this, but the little sable guy on the left end really is eating.  Dad looks on in amazement while his brother is trying to get a closer look. Check out the little brown guy in the middle.  Do 'ya think he enjoyed his breakfast??      -->
	<-- Daddy helping out with the family cleaning chores.  Baron sets a good example for fatherly responsibility.  (Some human males could take lessons from him.)  It is starting to get a little crowded around the dinner table. -->
	<--  The kids are up and around and Dad came into check them out.  But he attracted more attention than he expected, so decided  to take off. --->
	<--- Samantha practicing her "running" skills, sorta.   Then she decided to attack her brother -- but he's bigger, so she may need a few more groceries.  --->
	<--  These kids really know how to get comfortable at supper time, but Brandy looks a bit unsure about it all.   Looks like Daddy might want to play.  Samantha is whispering in Brother's ear, "You attack him -- you're bigger!"-->
	<--  The kids have discovered Mom & Dad's food dish.  I doubt that they can eat much (not enough teeth yet), but it looks like they're having a lot of fun anyway.   --->

February 20th and the Li'l Pack is getting bigger.  By next weekend they will be venturing outside -- and then the real fun begins.  Meanwhile, let's move on to a new page:  Puppies2k #4.
