Six Weeks Old
The puppies are six weeks old today. We have had another busy week caring for them and introducing them to many new things. They have grown bigger, and you can see each unique personality developing. Maui continues to wean her puppies while they eat softened kibble. We continue to work on potty training, and we are making progress. Some puppies are more consistent, but all the puppies are making progress.

New Puppy Area
We said goodbye to the whelping box this week and started crate training in a new puppy area. I started the puppies with two crates, leaving the door open. This is the beginning of crate training. The puppies explore independently, and the door is always open.
Looking Back At Week Six
The puppies experienced new things. They enjoy outdoor play time with their own litter. We also introduced them to Willow’s litter during some of their outdoor play time.
This past week has been very hot, so we introduced water through various containers and a pool. The puppies loved the water and some were brave and went into the pool
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK SEVEN
In Week Seven, we will be working on obstacles. The puppies must use their brains to figure out how to maneuver around them. The puppies will also learn how to go down steps.
- Puppies will meet their forever families
- Puppies time spent awake will continue to increase
- Puppies will begin dry kibble by the end of week seven
- Puppies will visit the vet for their wellness check-up and vaccinations
- We will continue to encourage puppies to use potty box
- Puppies will continue to socialize and learn from each other through play
- Puppies will continue exploring and playing together outdoor as weather permits
- Puppies will continue learning from their mama as she disciplines them and teaches them to behave
- As always, puppies will continue to get lots of cuddle time.
