3 weeks old!




The pups turned 3 weeks on Sunday, March 28th. Today marks their second week with us. Time has been flying by but it seems like they been here for longer.

Here is an update:

Monday we had a weigh in and here are the results!
  1. Kearney 4 lbs
  2. Seamus 4 lbs
  3. Bailey 3 lbs 9 oz




That is a gain of 1.5 lbs in a week.

They are up to eating 100 ml per feeding and eating 5 times a day. The first week they were eating about 20 ml per feeding. We took away a feeding because they were not eating in the afternoon, so we spread the feedings out more and now they eat a full meal each time.

The eating schedule is now:

  1. 7 am
  2. 12 noon
  3. 4:00 pm
  4. 8:00 pm
  5. 12:00 am
They are now:
  • Standing and walking easily!
  • Barking, howling and growling!
  • Playing both with us and each other!
  • Getting their baby teeth! OUCH!

The next two weeks will be challenging as we try to ween them from the bottle and eat from a saucer and also introduce solid food.

MORE NEW PICS COMING SOON!
