their little eyes open? I know next to nothing about dogs--I've lived with cats all my life.

They'll walk around 3 weeks. But they do motor around the puppy pen, they are just crawling now.

Poor girl has fleas, treated her today and she seems much more comfortable now. Had to take her into the kitchen and treat her and keep her away from the pups for an hour or so, but everybody seems happy now.

6. Glad to hear it. Fleas can be dangerous to pups so young & mom needs all her strength.

Mini, do you have a favorite age for puppies? I know they're sweet at all stages but first playing with each other stage could entertain me for hours.

Their eyes are still closed, and they can't walk yet. They are starting to push up on their front legs. Their eyes will open in about 4-6 more days. When they start walking is when they start getting interesting, that should be in about 2 more weeks. The personalities start coming out around 5 weeks, that is when it starts getting interesting. Mom will start cutting them off around that time because they get their teeth, and it hurts! I like it when they start walking and look like little drunken sailors.
