They are starting to look more like puppies than potatoes, now. Eyes open, though they can't really focus yet. Ears opening and they are plainly hearing and responding to sounds now. They're also staggering around like drunken sailors, using their feet and motoring around the whelping box. Pretty soon they will start tryin to climb out, and we'll have to expand their area.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it's been so much fun to watch them grow. I never realized how fast they mature, feels like they were born just yesterday.

Do you have a litter theme?

Do you have a litter theme?

Yeppers. It's the "weather" litter. Chosen by Theresa because of the name she wants to give the puppy we're keeping. Here near the Sacramento River delta, there is a breeze that comes up in the afternoons, especially in summer, called the "delta breeze." So decided that our puppy will be Esquire's Delta Breeze, call name Delta. And to make it fit, she decided the litter theme should be weather generally.

My god they are the cutest!!! The little stretches they do while sleeping have me gushing at my computer, so darn precious

FYI PUPPIES WILL BE SERVED THEIR FIRST GRUEL TONIGHT AT 6:00 PACIFIC, 9:00 EASTERN.​

At this initial feeding they usually bathe in it, wear it, sleep in it, and do everything except actually eat it. It's fun to watch. Check the puppy cam at that time for some Wednesday cuteness.

Sounds kinda like a 1 yr old kid with their 1st piece of birthday cake.....

certainly is one of my favorites by far. Love all the new toys in the box too.

The pups are three weeks old today. That means that major changes will be coming within the week. For one, we'll be expanding their universe past the whelping box they've lived in their whole lives, and we'll start trying to potty train them with potty boxes. Plus there will be all sorts of new challenges, and toys, and things to interact with. It's gonna be a fun week for Theresa and me (and the puppies! ).

Yay I made in time to watch them get their mush!

 

[ScoutTheGolden]

Me too! Love seeing Summer cleaning up.

 

[DanaRuns]

Round one is done.

 

[Golden State Mom]

Wow, so sorry I missed this grand event. Thank you for sharing your babies, and giving us a peek into your world. Summer is what, third or fourth generation that you’ve shared with us?


it’s such a treat to see the cute babies, and so educational to see what goes into raising a litter well. Thanks for your generosity

What a great theme. And the name🥰, it's so poetic!
I have to admit it's a lot of fun looking at K-9 data and seeing all the clever ways that litter themes are incorporated, (yes I spend way too much time on there, but it's just so cool).

Just checked at 8:36 EST. All snoozing with one propped up on the rail. So cute. They made me want to go back to bed. Lol

Thanks for sharing so much valuable information on the whole process.. I am obviously late to this thread and I wish I had not missed so much. But today I have been checking the puppy cam at work (on a split screen).. and all of my colleagues have been looking at it too.. it's a nice break from work and a huge morale booster for us..

I had recently lost a colleague on our team who also shared my office (He passed away unexpectedly...) And things were crazy here for a while. I'm also very sorry for the loss of your 2 puppies 😔 Collectively on behalf of all my colleagues, I'd like to say thank you for this puppy cam... I have never seen a bunch of people feel so much better since seeing your puppies 😊

Echoing Chris, I'm sorry for your loss as well. But one thing's for sure, there ain't nothing like a Golden puppy pile to put a smile on folks' faces.....

Thank you for your kind words.. 🙏🏽 So thankful to @DanaRuns for this. Our entire team took many coffee breaks infront of a split screen throughout the day since I discovered this. I have shared the link so that they can view it at home when we aren't at work 😅 We will be back tomorrow glued to our split screen

I tuned in to the puppy cam and got really worried when I only counted six puppies. I couldn’t find the darkest one (red boy?) anywhere! I finally found him…😅
