I went back and looked at milestones for other litters, and I was struck by a couple of things. These puppies are big for this age. Even though Topaz is the smallest in this litter, for example, he is similar to the sizes of the Wildflowers at about this age. Jasper, on the other hand, is much bigger than other litters at the same age.

Eyes are more open in this litter.

Walking/play seems about on par with other litters.

Carol asked how much time Capella spends with puppies vs. outside. Capella only goes out to potty — otherwise, she is in the living room with the puppies, although she doesn’t spend all her time with them. She tends to nurse and snooze with them, and then get up and hang out away from the box.

It is shocking how quickly walking gets better — apparently, the Walking Fairy visited overnight!
Happy Tuesday!
