Two Weeks!!

There has been many a moment when we didn't expect to get to this point in time, but we're here!!

Lyric has not only doubled her birth weight, but now weighs over 1kg.  Having worried that she wasn't gaining enough, we now worry that she's getting too big - think we're born worriers!

It is still rather quiet in the house, she does make the occasional noise but not too much at all.  This may well be due that she has nothing to complain about - no brothers and sisters to disturb her sleep or knock her off a teat when she might be feeding.  She currently lives a life of sleeping and feeding, she literally slips off a teat and goes back to sleep.  She really doesn't have the stimulation that she would have with litter mates.

Lack of litter mates is also responsible for making her bigger, so pleased we named her Lyric otherwise she might be know as Porky Miss Purple!  She has no competition for feeding at all, doesn't have to clamber over others to get where she wants to be to feed, or have to constantly  move from one teat to another.

She is now up on all four limbs, and we hope that once she starts to see things will improve as she becomes more stimulated by her environment.  They are starting to open, so this shouldn't be too far off now.

She is however a real cuddle monkey, snuggles right in to you which is lovely.  Trying to ensure that she's not picked up too often is a constant battle, she is certainly one well loved puppy.  This is something that we'll have to keep an eye on as she grows, we don't want her demanding attention all of the time, and a situation we could easily find ourselves in if we don't take care.
