Pieta's puppies Day 27

Pieta's puppies reached 27th day after birth yesterday (January 19), and we visited Nakahara-san's home to see them. They have grown even larger than before.
  Left photo shows a representative of the males, and right shows a representative of the female. How cute they are, aren't they?
After showing their lovableness, they have fallen asleep overlapping one another. They have started walking with thier rear legs erected, and their movement is now quite active.

Pieta's puppies

Last night, Pieta returned home unexpectedly.
While she had been staying at Nakahara-san's home with her puppies, both the mother and the babies had become irritated as Pieta had became unable to give sufficient milk.
  
The puppies have grown considerably big and stable. Left photo shows three males, and right one shows three females. Although this pair of photos give you the impression that males are larger than females, the reality is that females are a little bigger than the males. It seems to be the same as human being that female babies grow faster than male babies.
We expect that their eyes opne in several days, and that, then, we can bring one of the puppies to be kept with us to our home.
Until then, Pieta has to leave her puppies behind. "Mom's going home earlier, but you grow healthily".
