...and finally, I have managed to get the photographs from last week posted. In these photos, the puppies are 6 weeks old and ready to take on the world (or at least take over the house)--and do so at regular times throughout the day, with and without the assistance of their 'cousins' from our Hemi x Geisha litter. They are truly showing their individual personalities and characters and before we know it, they will be ready to move on to their lives with their new families. With any luck, I will be able to get this weeks' photos posted more timely...

What a difference a few days makes...the Hank x Dy-Dy litter have left their whelping box behind and have moved on to 'bigger digs'. They have also started eating on their own with some supplemental feedings from mom (but Dy-Dy says those sharp little teeth hurt!) and they have quickly figured out that if they cry and make enough of a ruckus, they will be let out of "puppy prison" to run around the house and socialize with their grandmother, mother, auntie, the cats, the Hemi x Geisha puppies and the humans of the household. How quickly they learn! Without further ado, the most recent pics of the Hank x Dy-Dy puppies...

The Hank x Dy-Dy litter have now opened their eyes and their ears are opening. They are toddling (or attempting to) around the whelping box and are starting to play (with each other and their dam). So, they received their first toys today...we'll see how long it takes them to figure out just what to do with them! In the meantime, here are their latest individual photos!

| Dy-Dy and pups at 2 weeks |
At two weeks old, the puppies in the Hank x Dy-Dy litter continue to thrive...and they never, ever miss a meal, as you can tell from this, their most recent photo. From top to bottom the puppies are: DuMond Farkleberry; DuMond Freesia, DuMond Filbert; DuMond Frangipani; DuMond Fraser; and DuMond Forget-Me-Not. These puppies should have their eyes and ears open soon, and then the real fun begins!
The Hank x Dy-Dy puppies continue to grow and do well. See their updated pictures (taken at 6 days old) below:
