SPOTS, SPOTS AND MORE SPOTS !!!

Two "progress reports" today: In addition to getting beautiful spotting patterns, almost everyone has their eyes open now (next blog update will show this) and.... believe it or not....the puppies now try to go from their sheepskin sleeping area onto the newspaper area to do their potty!  They can barely walk, but make the effort - I have helped them by changing the sheepskin to a thinner one, and by covering only the one side of their box. It is absolutely amazing to watch this, and as this week goes by they will get better and better at it. Dalmatians do like to be clean, and are one of the easiest breeds to housetrain.
Two appointments have been set up so far:  Doggy chiropractor is set for Friday, April 5th, and hearing testing is Saturday, April 13th. Still need to set up the microchip appointment.
Here are some "group" shots to show the spotting coming thru.  Some are more profusely marked than others, but it is normal to have their tummies a bit more spotted than their backs; and following in the pawprints of their daddy Chaucer, they have collections of spots on their shoulders and front assembly.

Next blog update will be Monday.
