Puppies are growing up

The puppies are now almost two weeks old and are changing so much. They have more than doubled in size and are starting to push up on their little legs rather than scoot around on their bellies.

They are also starting to become more vocal. Right now it's cute...another few weeks I'm sure it won't be quite as endearing. :P

As of today, the final pup has finally opened her eyes all the way. Fourteen adorable eyes peer up at me now everytime I look in the whelping box. Mom, as you can see, is ecstatic!!

Now I'm venturing into making my own puppy pen. I found plans online for a design that I really like and seems like it would work the best. The directions make it appear to be a rather simple project. Of course I have a knack for making the simple quite *ahem* complex. This should be interesting. At the very least, it should make for a good post or two ;).
