AUGUST 25, 2019 – DAY 28 – 4 WEEKS OLD
LOOKING BACK
Four weeks old already, how the time has flown by! This past week puppies have become mini dogs. They are learning to use the potty area. Their walking has improved and they are progressing towards running. Puppies are vocalizing more and can now bark and growl . More of their time is spent awake socializing with each other through play. All of the puppies enjoy cuddle time……when we go into their area, it doesn’t take long before you have a lap full of puppies!
Ruska decided to nurse puppies standing up…that means time to start weaning!
PUPPY PLAY
Playing always makes puppies sleepy!
Looking Ahead to week Five
- Puppies time spent awake will increase
- Puppies will continue to socialize with each other through play
- Puppies balance will continue to improve and they will begin to run
- Puppies will continue learning to use potty area
- Puppies will start on solid foods as weaning gradually begins
- Mama will now add the invaluable teaching phase to her caring & protecting responsibilities over the next weeks.
