The puppies turned two weeks old yesterday.  They are growing like little weeds!  The biggest puppy (light blue boy) is 2lb 12 oz and the littlest puppy (orange boy) is 2lb 5 oz.  Although looking at the picture above, there are a couple that look especially porky.  I found that they are best for weighing after they’ve eaten and food coma has set in.  This is also good for arranging them in a line.  I arranged them as best I could by varying shades of blue and gray.  Starting from the left is teal, green, lime, black, orange, red, pink and light blue.  Of the gray girls, hot pink and yellow.  The photo wasn’t THAT great but you can see that teal, green and lime are darker than the rest. I think that red should be moved over in between lime and black.  The rest are lighter shades of blue.

Bio-sensor exercises continue until day 16.  They all are taking really well to the upright position and usually relax completely, until I flip them upside down.  When upside down, they struggle to right themselves and in some cases paddle their front feet as if they are swimming.  I hope that is a good sign for what strong swimmers they will be.   Next is the supine position where they are laying on their back.  They all love this position and easily relax and fall asleep, some with their heads falling completely back.  This gives me a chance to tickle their toes with the q-tip.
