February 14TH, 2021 – DAY 14 – 2 WEEKS OLD
LOOKING BACK
Our puppies are already two weeks old. We have had a great week! Watching and cuddle puppies are one of my favourite ways to pass time. Some of my grandchildren have helped me with the cuddling this week. Puppies have gained strength in their hind legs and are moving around the whelping box faster. Ruska continues to be a loving and attentive mama. They are gaining weight daily. With all that eating and sleeping they can’t help but grow.
Saturday was an exciting day ….. we saw some of the puppies eyes beginning to open. Over the next few days, all the puppies eyes will be opened. Their vision is not well developed just yet but it will improve over the coming weeks.
What do two week old puppies do? Sleep……
…….eat……..
….and then, sleep again!
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK THREE
- Puppies will still eat and sleep most of their day
- Puppies will continue growing
- Eyes will continue to open wider and sight will slowly become clearer
- Ears will start to open and they will begin to hear (though not well yet)
- Puppies hind legs will become stronger and they will practice walking on all fours
- Puppies will become more aware of their litter-mates.
