Elvis & Priscilla... A move & up and about

This weekend we moved Elvis & Priscilla out of their very small fenced-in area and into an Xpen within an Xpen (more or less)... It will give them more room, allow me to put a pitty pad holder in with them and (hopefully) get them started on potty training... Additionally, it is more in the 'trafficked' part of the house, so they'll see the other dogs through the Xpen walls and become adjusted to that aspect of their life which is so crucial - the ability to interact with other dogs and learn canine manners they'll observe from the others... With two Xpens, everyone can see each other and not that my dogs would harm the orphans, but this keeps them safe and protected for my dogs can't get close enough to touch, just smell and watch, etc.

Elvis woke up briefly when he was transported into the new digs, but quickly fell back asleep ("Don't bother me - I'm having a great dream here....") but Priscilla opened up her eyes, realized the scenery had changed and was immediately interested in what was going on around her...

They've now started exploring and going beyond a blankee (although last night they didn't sleep in the new doggie bed, but dragged the blankee onto the floor and slept there)... I've started putting in toys for them to play with, but so far they're not too interested in those - just mealtimes spark their interest right now...



The tails are now up all the time and started that traditional curl over... They get into small spats of rough-housing amongst themselves and it is kinda cute to hear their little growls and noises as they engage in playing and mock charges...

They are both still REALLY small, although they are eating like little piglets all the time! Not sure how big their parents were, but we plan on weighing them again today, and then comparing that to Bella's litter's weights we tracked as they grew...

First series of puppy shots this week... Hard to believe they are already six weeks old and we've had them for a month now... Where did the time go?
