Ellie’s Puppies
LOOKING BACK
Three weeks old already and oh how they have grown! This week the puppies have been progressing rapidly. Their eyes are fully opened and vision is improving. Ears have started to open and they are beginning to hear. Their hind legs have become much stronger and they have been practicing walking on all fours. Puppies are much more aware of their surroundings and have begun to play with each other. They still continue to sleep much of the time.
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK FOUR
- Puppies will still sleep most of their day as they continue to grow rapidly
- Puppies will play with each other developing important social skills
- Puppies hind legs will continue to become stronger as they walk more
- Hearing will improve
- Puppy milk teeth will erupt
- Puppies will be moving to the main floor sometime during the week
Ruska’s Puppies
On Wednesday the puppies began their first solids I make a soft mush from ground kibble and warm water. It didn’t take long for the puppies to know what to do. They made quite a mess but all in all did a great job with their first meal. Ruska has now begun to wean them and they are nursing less. The puppies were also given water to drink for the first time and learned to lap it up.
