2 week old Tibetan Terrier puppies!

There is nothing sweeter in the whole world than a newborn.  In my world it is the newborn puppy!  I could hold and kiss each one over and over and never get enough of the newborn puppy smell and feel.  To have them curl up in your hand and totally trust your hold on them.
After a couple of days, Breezy was catching on to new motherhood.  She knew they were her puppies and learned to trust that no one and no other dog would take them away from her.  The commitment of a new mom is unbelievable!  She will totally neglect her own needs for the sake of her young.  She was fed in bed-so to speak-6 times a day plus even more frequent drinks of goats milk and water.  She would not leave the puppies even to go to the bathroom, but had to be made to leave them for that quick trip outside.  Panting under a heat lamp.  Seems oblivious of the fact she could lay outside of the "pool" to cool off and still hear the puppies and see that they are fine.  Totally unselfish.

The puppies are 2 weeks old tomorrow.  4 have their eyes open.  Oh-the first sights and usually at about the same time, the first sounds.  Looking into their tiny eyes, I wonder just all they can really see.  Do they think "oh, that's what that squeaky voice looks like.."  So much to do and learn on their way to adulthood.  To me, with the eyes opening marks the time where there is more to do!  More things to teach them and socializing to do.  All in order to make each puppy the best they can possibly be.  No pressure there!  Each puppy is a tiny miracle.  All are meant to be loved and to give unconditional love.
