Family tree and beginning to open their eyes

 At last we can see a glint of their eyes as they are just beginning to open and at the same time they are no longer "swimming" around their box on their stomachs but managing to stagger around on their feet a bit.  It wont be long before they are climbing over Fern's back and out of their box and begin to explore the world outside the box !
They have had their nails clipped for the first time as they were making Fern a bit sore as they tried to get a better grip on her in search of milk.

On the left is a family tree which starts at the top with a chocolate labrador (Meg) owned by a good friend of ours, Christine, and we got our first wonderful dog Barley from her.

Meg is the ripe old age of 14 and very wise and loyal, Willow is aged 10 and still gets very excited when she goes for a walk, followed by Fern who is 3 and the devoted new Mum.
