Today was a pretty quiet day for the puppies. They spent the majority of the day lounging around sleeping. I know they are supposed to do that but it worries me when they are too quiet. They liven up plenty fast when they can reach Jill so I try not to worry.
Jill's doing a good job on consuming sufficient calories each day and it certainly seems that the puppies are consuming enough calories as well. They are pudgy little things and seem quite content.
No eyes are open yet. I am waiting until they do to look up when the last litters' eyes opened so I don't sit around counting the days until it "should' happen. Their little ears are working on it though.
Wonder what they will be up to tomorrow. I need to try to get some pictures. I don't think we've taken any in a while.
That's all for now.

Visitation Protocol
I've been sending this/variations of this to people about puppy visits so I thought it might be useful information for visitors and potential owners (or entertainment for people to laugh at the crazy dog lady)
Puppies are now ready for visitors and they especially need to meet children (and men.) Just not on a day/in clothes you've worn to a shelter/dog park/around a sick dog.
If you want to prepare them for 'the rules' or our procedure:
We take off shoes (don't wear white socks because the rubber floor, even when freshly steamed can discolor white socks);
wash hands thoroughly (sing the abc song twice while we rub the soap between our hands vigorously) and
put on a smock (an old men's shirt I keep for such purposes).
Then we come quietly out into the dog room and greet the big dogs (especially the Mama so she doesn't feel like she needs to protect the babies) before we go over to see the puppies.
The puppies are in a play area and we go carefully in and sit down to let puppies come to us or an adult hand them to you. You can make lots of noise with your voice - as long as it doesn't look like it worries the mama dog (probably wait until after you've been here for a little while).
When you are ready to get out, tell us and an adult will help you (don't want to trip over a puppy and hurt you or it). They have some neat toys that you can help show them but remember they are BABIES so they are fragile (careful, quiet hands and feet but we will want you to make some loud, funny, or silly noises for them eventually.)
You might want to remind them I can't see so they need to use words (I can't hear them shake or nod their head),
Thanks!
