Eyes are beginning to open. Just in the inner corners at this point.
They can detect light and dark, but they are not really seeing yet.

Three Weeks Old Today

Their eyes are open and they can see
light and movement. However, 
their eyes are still developing and
they can't see details as yet. 
Their eyes are a bit blue-ish because
their irises are also continuing to
develop. 
Next portraits will be at 5 weeks.

Puppies are getting supplemental milk. They are still nursing Mom, But their
needs have outpaced her production a little bit. To ensure all the puppies get as
much milk as they want, I am now offering the puppies goat milk.

Goat milk works well for supplemental feeding of puppies, as opposed to cow milk.
because.
both dogs and goats (and people) make A2 milk.
So the puppies can drink the goat milk just as it comes from the goat. 
No need to add this, that or the other thing. 

If it's of interest, there's a lot on the internet about A1 vs. A2 milk.
Apparently, there was a mutation in European cows, the result being that our modern
commercial dairy cows make A1 milk.
There are people who can not tolerate A1 milk, but can drink A2 milk.
The solution is to either drink goat or sheep milk, which are both A2, or, seek out
some heritage bred cow or African cow who still produces A2 milk.
There is apparently a lab in California that offers a DNA test to determine if a cow is A1 or A2. 

And that concludes my interesting bit of trivia for the day. 

Puppies are doing well. They still are mostly only sleeping and eating, now with a little bit of play time.
