The puppies are one day old in the following pictures.
(2/25/2015)

Note: The color on the puppies is nail polish so we can tell them apart during the first few weeks. We keep track of their weight daily to make sure they are all eating and growing normally. When they're this young, it's hard to tell them apart.

Here are a few pictures of Balti and her Karo puppies at 8 days old.
(taken: 3/4/2015)

They mostly sleep and nurse at this age. Their eyes and ears are not yet open, so they crawl over to their mom by their sense of smell. They’ve been gaining about 2.5 oz. a day and now weigh 2.25 to 3 lbs. Each puppy is referred to by a color, so we can easily tell them apart. The boy is Blue.

The puppies opened their eyes a few days ago and are just beginning to walk. Their ears have not opened, so they can’t hear yet. They are getting big quickly! They are now between 2.75 and 3.75 lbs.

The last two days have been very nice and the puppies got to play outside. Purple and Pink’s ears are a bit smaller and thinner, so they have an easier time standing them up. It will take longer for Blue and Yellow, but theirs are up at the base.

While they enjoyed playing, they still kept laying in the shade of our shadows!

Weather wasn’t as nice yesterday, so we played inside. Yellow and Blue’s ears are coming up, and Pink and Purple have theirs up most of the time.

The puppies are more active and really like being outside. They like to wander, so we keep a few of the adults with us to help keep an eye on them..
