Puppies
now both weight 16 oz. or one pound -- right on target for development
to the correct standard size of 4 - 6 lbs. Both girls have just
opened their eyes although they technically are still blind. They
have started creeping and crawling around more, but still use their
front paws to drag themselves around. They are much more active as each
week goes on. Their noses and lips have speckles of black pigment coming
in. Their coat has grown significantly and these two girls are
white-white. That is, by this age you can see faint tan markings
if the puppies will have color in their coats and ears -- these two girl
have no signs of having any coat color. Their toenails have grown
also; this is a good age to start them on nail cutting with a small nail
clipper. Their ears are starting to flap down and soon they will
open their ears and hear.
