Look How They Have Grown, Ellie’s Pups are now Six Weeks Old!

LOOKING BACK

Six weeks old today. We have had another busy week caring for the puppies and introducing them to so many new things. They have grown bigger and you can see each unique personality developing. Puppies have progressed to eating softened kibble. They enjoy exploring during outside play time. Ellie’s is teaching them to submit and Ruska, Brinkley and Willow are helping out with this.

LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK SEVEN
  • Puppies will meet their forever families
  • Puppies time spent awake will continue to increase
  • Puppies will begin dry kibble by the end of the week
  • We will continue to encourage puppies to use potty area
  • 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.

Sixteen puppies playing and exploring together

The last couple days, all the puppies have been playing and exploring together in our yard. It has been a very busy time keeping track of all 16 puppies in our yard! They are getting along very nicely and Ruska, Ellie, Brinkley and Willow have been playing with them as well as teaching them to submit. Notice in some of the pictures below, the puppies on their backs. This is what puppies do to show that they are submitting.

Puppies are very good at coming when called. This helps me make sure we have them all but also teaches them “recall”. This will be something their forever families will continue when they train their puppies. The only reward the puppies expect is lot’s of praise and cuddles.
