"YUM!," exclaims this happy boy.

"Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving like we have had!," says the adorable boy.

Happy 2 Week Birthday to Flute's 8 burly boys & 2 pretty girls!

The little standard schnauzers are learning to walk. I love the way they wobble around and topple over seemingly randomly. Pups also have recently opened eyes. Wonder just what they can see? What do you think after watching this video?

2nd Week Birthday for Pups

4am nursing session ...

"What do you mean it's early? We're hungry and it's our Birthday!," argue these logical pups.

Evening nursing & cleaning session ... with video!

"Hey! I'm trying to nurse here, Mum!," complains this pup who has had nursing interrupted.

Check back later for some scenes from throughout Week 2.

Mummy needs some alone time ...

And see where Flute chose to get it!!

Looking very content on her own!

"A nice, cozy bin to myself is soooo peaceful," thinks Flute.

This video will show you what's just to the left of Flute in the bin ... and why Flute needs a break! Pups are very active, trying out walking, eyes are mostly open, and they are very vocal about wanting their mum!!

Flute is dedicated!

Whelping boxes must be cleaned frequently. When I do this, I put all the pups in a plastic bin with fleece blanket or towels.

I love the way their beautiful coats look in natural light.

You can really see the variations in Pepper & Salt coloration here.

Not a very big bin ...

 

Imagine my surprise one evening when I turned around and found Flute climbing in the bin to be with her pups! The photos below are from when pups were just a couple days old.

 

"What you lookin' at?," asks Flute.

"Of course we all fit nicely in here," asserts Flute.

 

"What does it matter where we are? We are nursing!," say the happy pups.

Flute continues to climb in the box and nurse her pups even though they are larger and nearly 2 weeks old now and the box is no bigger!

"We've really grown," say the chubby pups.

"I ask you again, what you lookin' at?," queries Flute.

That's some serious dedication, Flute!

Puppies! 9 Days Old

"I'm a Bear!," exclaims this Boy with complete certainty.

Lovely Boy all stretched out.

"I vant to be alone," asserts this Girl.

Girl on the MOVE!

Poor Boys! Seems there is always a Girl using them as a pillow.

Sisters snuggling.

"Happy Birthday to Us!,"

Cheer the Pups!
