Raising a Singleton – Week 7

Seven weeks old

LOOKING BACK

Echo’s baby is now seven weeks old. Finley continues to grow bigger and more adorable each day. She is full of energy and curious about everything. Finley is a smart puppy – she knows her name, the sit command and is doing well on recall. Finley had an exciting week experiencing more firsts. Sunday she met her forever family who will soon be her world. Her forever family includes one of our puppies from Ellie and Brinkleys 2021 litter – red colour boy now Charlie. Big brother Charlie didn’t show too much interest in her other than a few sniffs every now and then but Finley was very cautious of this new dog. She hid under a chair when Charlie came to investigate her. I am sure that they will quickly become best friends playing and exploring together.

Outdoor Play

Finley, our 7 week old singleton puppy loves spending time outdoors! She has lots to keep her busy: running and exploring the yard, playing with my grandchildren, learning from the big dogs and wrestling with her mama.


Finley thinks that she is a big dog drinking from our elevated water bowls LOL
