Cruising Pups

There was a lot of movement in the whelping box today. The pups all were so much more animated. They also played and walked around, and occasionally rolled around as they played. Makenna was here and we took some movies and pictures of our growing herd of dachshunds!

First we have the handsome and charming, and largest boy, Calvin. Calvin really is remarkable because he has the largest head, and biggest paws!

Next in the weight line is Curt. He tends to be a bit quieter, but is pretty strong as well. Today he slept a bit more and I am thinking he is having another growth spurt! Last time I looked he was nursing away.

Christel is the next in line weight wise. She is one big girl! She is no pushover either. She gets right in there with all of her brothers and rolls around, crawls all over them and then snuggles with her Mama.

Then we have Claus. He is such a handsome boy. His favorite playmate from almost the first day has been his brother, Caspar. It’s funny because when I check on them, either they are playing or sleeping together! Claus is a real sweetheart!

Last but not least, is Caspar. He may be the smallest (by just an ounce or two) but he is probably the most active. I often see him cruising around the whelping box, or climbing over the other pups.

I took two pictures that I just loved. The first is of Caspar and Calvin sleeping together. Aren’t they sweet?

And lastly, this one of the pig pile! Ah I just break out into a big smile when I see them like this!

And I leave you with this short movie that Makenna and I made.
