2 weeks old!

Today our puppies are 2 weeks old and all eyes are open to see & explore the world. They also had their 1st baths...no more stinky puppies! They range in weight from 1lb 14 oz to 1lb 9 oz today...amazing there is no real runt, but I can predict that the Blenheim male will be the biggest, he has some big paws....when I say big think thumbnail :) All 6 puppies have an individual picture up today.

Bella gave birth to 6 BEAUTIFUL puppies on friday 2/11/11, this is her 2nd litter (1st was June 2009) and last. She is an AWESOME mommy! We have 4 Tri-color, 3 of which are girls and 1 boy and then 2 Blenheim, 1 of which is a boy and 1 is a girl. Our blenheim girl even has the legendary thumbprint on her head, SO special. These puppies will be ready for new homes April 8th, 2011. Please contact me by email ~ chuyandmegan@msn.com or phone 520-378-7199 for information.
Here is a small history about the thumbprint~
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small British spaniel with a silky coat. Truly a dog of elegance and distinction, this breed is named after Charles I, for the favored blenheim spaniel of the monarch's children. By the royal decree of Charles II, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the only dog allowed in the houses of Parliament. Mary Queen of Scots went to her beheading with a Cavalier hidden under her skirts. He died of grief a few days later.
The characteristic "blenheim" spot supposedly originated with the Duchess of Marlborough. Legend says that the Duchess, sick with worry for her husband, who was leading troops in France at the battle of Blenheim, rubbed a pregnant spaniel's head and imprinted it with the thumbprint mark.
Cavaliers are the ultimate lap dog and will absorb as much love as you can give.
