More of My Babies!

Okay I know all you want to see is pictures of my puppies - I do too! They are getting so cute. They are now walking but look slightly intoxicated. They have opened their eyes and can see when we enter the room. It doesn't matter if they have just been fed or not - they run to our feet as if they are starving. They love to be held and the boys are so glad I have finally gave them permission to hold them - while under my supervision. They are still so small that I worry about them wiggling out of their hands. We weight them each week and each week they have grown 4-5 ounces. The biggest puppy is 18 ounces and the smallest is 14 ounces. I have taken tons and tons of pictures but it is hard to get good ones of black puppies. Any suggestions?

I love these little babies but I am sleep deprived. I hound Tink to be a good mom and feed her babies and I know she doesn't like me for it. I wake up in the middle of the night to make sure she does her feedings. Each time one of them makes the slightest little cry for help - I am up and running into their room. I bring at least one of them to bed with me each night which only makes Darren wish they were leaving sooner. :) We decided to name them while they lived with us so that we could figure out which one we were discussing at the moment. The boys love telling the neighbors their names, their characteristics, their markings, their personalities. It's awesome. This has been such an amazing experience.

No real drama since the birth though - aside from the hole in the wall vet clinic I accidentally took them to to get their tails snipped. We are just happy that they are playful, love to be held, walking around and eating well.

Here are some pictures - most of which I tried taking with one puppy in my hand and the camera in the other. Forgive me!
