The puppies are six weeks old today. We have had another busy week caring for them and introducing them to many new experiences. They have grown bigger, and each puppy’s unique personality is starting to show.
Food
Maui continues to wean her puppies as they eat softened kibble. She is nursing them less often, so we always have fresh water available for them to drink to keep them hydrated.
Cuddle Time
Potty Training
We continue to work on potty training, and we are great making progress. Some puppies are more consistent, but all the puppies are improving. We will soon take the whelping box away and introduce crates to their puppy area.
A look back at the puppies’ seventh week
The puppies have had experience walking on various surfaces, and new toys have been added to their puppy area for them to explore.
