The wee babies are starting to become little dogs. They are all up and about, so eyes opening soon and ears a few days after. Bought them their own radio, to get used to the vibration before they can actually hear. Left my environmental sound machine with cool cricket noises, thunder, etc, when I moved ..oh well.
Because they are Border Collies which means they are born overachievers... I swear they are already showing social responses, like wagging their tails or stretching and pushing into your hand (not rooting/nursing behavior) when touched. I think the puppy development gurus, Scott & Fuller determined closer to four weeks as when social gestures are readily displayed. I'm sure Skinner would have something to say about it being an already conditioned response to stimuli...anyway, way too analytical..
They are just very cute, whether they are brilliant or not. Fflur is an incredibly good mom. She allowed Reve and "Grandma" Halo, my Aussies to visit today. Halo loves babies and spent ten minutes cleaning them all. Fflur then of course had to re-clean them....overachiever......
