I am definitely very busy with twenty-one puppies to care for but, I love this job. Who could tire of puppy cuddles and looking at those adorable faces? Not me!
Ellie’s Puppies
During the first two weeks of a puppies life, they spend 90% of their time sleeping. Now that Ellies’s milk is in they are satisfied for a longer time in-between feedings. Ellie has started to spend short periods of time away from her puppies
When it comes to matters of the potty, puppies need their mothers help at first. For the first couple of weeks or so, newborn puppies do not instinctively know how to nor do they possess the ability to eliminate themselves without their mother cleaning them. Ellie has an around the clock job feeding and keeping her babies clean.
Puppies have already changed since they were born. Their fur is already growing, they are bigger and their pigmentation is developing. Notice in the photo below the puppy’s nose and pads. When the puppies were born, they had those adorable pink noses. They are now darkening and will soon be black or possibly brown. Elie’s puppies are growing up!

Ruska’s Puppies
Ruska’s puppies are seven weeks old and have an important week of learning. Ruska will continue teaching and disciplining her puppies. This week she will teach her puppies to submit. In the pictures below you can see a couple puppies in the submit position – lying on their backs.
