LOOKING BACK
How quickly time passes and how quickly puppies grow! Ellie and Willow’s sweet puppies are now five weeks old. The puppies have developed from helpless newborns to “mini dogs”. They have learned so much over the past five weeks. This past week we have been working hard on training the puppies to use the potty box. 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 in the exercise area. Nursing time from mama has decreased and the puppies continue to enjoy eating puppy mush and drinking from their water dish.
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK SIX
- Awake will continue to increase
- 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 short 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.
