10 gorgeous eyes look at me intently trying to figure out just what that big blur is that they see throughout the day. The Ruby Gems litter all have their eyes wide open and are taking in their surroundings with a great deal of interest. Although the puppies can’t really see anything other than general shapes and forms, they are far more aware of what is around them now and are constantly turning their heads looking for visual cues.
The first puppy to open her eyes was Orange collar girl and the last one was Black collar. Orange was the second born puppy and Black was the fourth born puppy. So it clearly has nothing to do with birth order.
This will be the last week the puppies are in the nest most likely. Now that their eyes have opened, their ears will be next and then they will be able to eliminate independently. Once that happens then it is time to move into the nursery and become “real” puppies. Pippa will be relieved of her clean up duties and we will take over using pee pads and training the puppies to use a litter box.
Solid food will be starting soon and that’s always good for a big mucky mess of puppies and lots of silly videos and pictures while they lick the food off of one another more than eat it out of the puppy pan.

All these babies are doing fabulously and are a very contented litter who have a great Mom with just the right blend of attention, affection and encouragement for her puppies. We couldn’t be prouder of the Pipsterdoodle and how well she is raising her Ruby Gems!
