P-UPDATE!

It's official, ears opened on all pups as of Friday afternoon at 16 days. Funny, because on a few, their eyes are still not totally open. Of course we had a huge thunder & lightning storm to herald the event. Luckily, Fflur cares less about storms, so no worried vibes and they are too young to know, anyway. Played loud country music to counter tempo the rumbles. They don't seem to have very strong startle responses yet-a good thing...
Have been letting some of the crew visit for a few minutes each. Crash who normally thinks puppies are aliens, seems interested in his turn and asked to see them in the AM. Wicked gives them her usual bumble-bee tail greeting and then gets to work flipping and cleaning them. Reve thinks they are her pups and Declan loves all pups! He helped socialize the first litter. Clayton is very careful with them, as he stepped on one and he got worried because it squeaked.

The coolest part of it, is to see the pups already know that the "visitors" are not the Momma and wag their tails when they touch noses. Will update pictures today..
