Ellie’s Puppies
LOOKING BACK
Ellies puppies are five weeks old today. They have developed from helpless newborn puppies to “mini dogs”. The puppies have progressed so much over the past five weeks. We have been working hard on training puppies to use the potty area. I am always amazed to watch puppies wake up or stop playing and walk over to use the potty area. Some of the puppies are more consistant than others but all are making great progress! Nursing will decrease now that they have started to eat puppy mush, and drink their water. Puppies have enjoyed interacting with people of all ages. They love playing with my grandchildren and are learning important social skills. Puppies are now awake for longer periods and enjoy playing with their toys and each other. Mama has begun teaching her pups to listen to her.
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK SIX
- Puppies time spent awake will continue to increase
- Puppies 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 daily play time outside as weather permits
- Puppies will continue learning from their mama as she disciplines them and teaches them to behave
- Puppies will be meeting their forever families
- As always, puppies will continue to get lots of cuddle time.
Ruska’s Puppies
Ruska’s puppies are enjoying their outdoor play time. It is a full time job keeping track of our 11 puppies. They are learning from their mama Ruska as well as our other dogs. I tried to snap some photos of them but didn’t get many…. puppies don’t stay still for long while awake.
After play, puppies sleep
