Eight to ten weeks and their world has expanded
They have really come into themselves in the last two weeks. Their personalities are delightful but different. BB (now Olek) will be staing in Kingston with Anna while RB (now Fergus) is headed for new adventures with Andrea Boulding in Nova Scotia.

Eight weeks but still immature for their age
|
8 week Stats |
It has been interesting to compare both their looks and development with previous litters of the same age. The findings seem to confirm our suspicions that, despite the best science out there, they were born early
|
They still love their momma |
|
Cute as buttons...when they're asleep |
Five weeks and exploring the new digs
|
Five week stats |
While they still have the puppy room for night time complete with open crates which they are happy to use, they now spend their days in the adventure pen in the living roo. Interacting with different sights, sounds and surfaces.

Nothing cuter than sleeping puppies |
Four weeks and time to start on some solid food
|
Four week stats |
Their first taste of solid food went down very well. With Lola still very stingy with the milk, weaning cannot happen soon enough but must still be done carefully.

They are loving having Anne visit |

Three weeks and finally some consistent progress with fewer hiccups
|
Three week stats |
They are starting to interact with their surroundings and RB likes chewing on fingers.
BB is likely to beat chunky RB when it comes to walking.
RB can still rule the milk bar if not watched but BB is holding his own with a little policing by Anna
|
Milk coma BB style and RB style |

|
BB, RB, Quick!! The milk bar is open, albeit briefly |
|
Side by side comparison, despite the weight difference they are similar in length |
|
BB working hard to get the milk down while RB just bides his time |
Two weeks and a new learning curve as we deal with supply and demand issues. A balancing act indeed
|
Two week stats |
|
Chow time, having a good feed |
|
Milk coma, RB being a typical boy |
|
Optical illusion, RB is actually substantially bigger and chunkier than BB!! |
|
Although RB's eyes actually started opening first (at 13 days) he is apparently camera shy!!! |
|

One week old and things are improving
|
7 day Stats |
|
Lola is a good mom despite a delayed milk supply. Thankfully, Fenugreek and "Mother's pudding" is working |
|
The difference in size between BB (blue boy) and RB (red boy) is quite apparent already |
Welcome to the world little ones
|
Birth Stats |
|
Born by elective C-section, the little Blue boy took a while to get going but not so much the red boy. |
|
Despite the topnotch progesterone and LH surge timing, it appears they were likely at least 48 hours premature. |
