LOOKING BACK
How quickly time passes, Ellie’s darling puppies are now five weeks old today. The puppies have developed from helpless newborns to “mini dogs”. They have learned so much over the past five weeks. We have been working hard over the past week on training the puppies to use the potty area. It’s amazing to watch puppies wake up or stop playing and walk over to use the potty area. They still have a long way to go and some of the puppies are more consistent than others, but all are making great progress! The puppies are now awake for longer periods and enjoy playing with their toys and their littermates. Nursing time from mama has decreased and the puppies continue to enjoy eating puppy mush and drinking their water.
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK SIX
- Puppies time spent awake will continue to increase
- Puppies food will become much thicker progressing toward the goal of eating dry kibble
- Puppies will continue learning to use potty area
- Puppies will continue to socialize with each other through play
- Puppies balance will continue to improve.
- Puppies will begin daily outdoor playtime 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.
