The 2nd week of a puppies life is so exciting because that is the time that puppies eyes open! I always get an up to the minute report from my youngest child. One day I get up in the morning and the first thing I hear is, "Mom! Come and see! One of the puppies eyes is opening!" And the next day, "Another puppy has his eyes open!" And through the day their are reports until all the puppies eyes are open. It is such a big event for my 8 year old. He must keep checking on the puppies constantly! Ha ha!

Of course, I do not blame him. The opening of the eyes signals the wakening of the puppy to the world around him. The timing corresponds to the opening of the ears and the puppies learning to stand up and walk on all four feet. Yes, their legs are shaky at first. And there mobility is for very short bits of time as they gain their strength. Likewise vision and hearing start out rather fuzzy and get better every day that goes by And of course, the puppies look so much cuter when you can see their eyes! So I do like to wait to take the second week photos until after their eyes have opened.
Just for clarity sake, I will start with the photos of Winnies 2 boys, Benji and Bandit.
