In the last two or three days the babies are starting to walk. They don't walk WELL, mind you, but it definately isn't crawling any more either. They hoist themselves up on their front legs and do this robotic little duck walk as they move about the box now.
As we suspected, Mako was the first pup whose eyes opened. Well, I should say "eye" actually since the right one is a bit open while the left eye is just a slit still. I'm not sure if it is because he is starting to be able to see a bit, but twice in the past two days he has gone to the veeerrrrryyyy edge of the whelping box to poo before rejoining the rest of the pack to nurse. Good boy!
