As we were playing and watching the pups, these two things happened, I held a cat toy and they spotted it, I held it over them and they started playing tug of war with it. After the tug of war they migrated to their beds and with a lot of tossing and turning they fell out of their beds!
Here are some pictures of those two events, sorry for some of the blurred puppies during tug of war.
Let me start with the update then the video. Our puppies are getting their teeth and their personalities. They are eating an oatmeal, Esbilac, Raw lamb diet and we will add rice in the next few days. They are closing in on 4 lbs and working on their toilet training. they are such joys!
We put together a montage of their eating, playing, trying to nurse and running around, we hope you enjoy! we didn’t ad a sound track because the yipes they make are so cute!
As week three ramps up, lots of things are happening, their paws have been shaved to give easier access to clipping their nails, they have gotten their first dose of de-wormer and they are starting to learn to eat from a bowl, this will lead to weaning from the mother.
The biggest news is they are starting to migrate from the whelping box to the play pen! a 12×14 caged area where they will have enormous area to run and play. The system has integrated crates so they will slowly be introduced to crate training over the next several weeks. For now they sleep in the whelping box but are playing and eating in the play pen.
Here are a few pictures of them as they play. explore and rest in their new area!
As we enter week 3, their eyes are mostly open and they are starting to explore the word around them. They have started their puppy barks and are ravenous. Their weight ga1n has been great with all puppies between 1 lbs. 11.5 oz. and 1 lbs. 13 oz.
Today will be our nail clip day and everyone got new ribbons! They have started to use their potty area and have become very mobile!
Pictures of individual pups coming soon on our Available Puppies page!
