The Island Litter II - Week 2 |
January 2 - The big changes have really started with the puppies. Their eyes have begun opening and as they've started to notice their world, they've started trying to play with each other. It's a lot of fun to watch puppies that can barely walk, as they try to bite each other, then falling over and falling asleep !
Saba continues to be a fantastic mom - now sleeping upstairs at night, but getting herself up in the middle of the night to come down and feed her puppies. She not only loves being around them, but is very comfortable with all of the visitors that have been stopping by to visit her puppies (as long as she gets some attention too!) Stay tuned for more updates!
P.S. Kim's mom complained that the toy shots needed to be from above, so you could see the size difference - so you get an "extra" toy shot for each this week !
| Skyland Martinique - Female, 2 lbs 1.5 oz, birth weight: 14.5 oz
Saba really dotes after Martinique - she spends a lot of time cleaning her and cuddling with her after she eats. Martinique is named after the island of Martinique, one of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles.

Skyland Nevis - Male, 2 lbs 3.75 oz, birth weight: 13 oz Nevis seems like the silly puppy of the litter. He can usually be found climbing over, around and through his siblings.

Skyland Bartholomew (Bart)- Male, 2 lbs 8.25 oz, birth weight:14.25oz Bart is our largest puppy and seems to like nothing more than just snuggling with his siblings or his humans. He's confident enough, even when held on his back. Bart is named for St. Barths, an island about 240 miles west of Puerto Rico, and is one of the Windward islands in the the Lesser Antilles..
  

| Skyland Montserrat- Male, 2 lb 8 oz, birth weight: 13.5 oz Montserrat seems like a very confident puppy, pulling himself around the box and exploring his world.Montserrat is named for the island of Montserrat, an island that is part of the Leeward islands of the Lesser Antilles.   

| Skyland Aruba- Female, 2 lb 2.5 oz, birth weight: 12 oz Aruba is a very active and vocal puppy. You certainly know when she is eating based on the sounds from the whelping box ! Aruba is named after the island of Aruba, an island in the Lesser Antilles which, along with Bonaire and Curacao are called the "ABC Islands".
