3 weeks is when puppies start to become cute and interesting. Eyes and ears open, legs fully functional: they are running around discovering their world including people. Fun to have a [blessedly small] batch of spring puppies –and quiet ones, only happy noises from this lot.

The head counselor at Sal’s summer camp had 12 puppies overnight. She’ll be rotating them around the teats, since there are more pups than teats. I’d be reaching for mind-numbing relief 🍺 🍺🍺🍺🍺. Reminds me why small litters are a blessing.

In a week, the pups will be able to regulate their temperatures and out they go to the puppy room in the barn.
