Beyond the Puppy Pen!
Some familiar things…some not so familiar. This all builds confidence.
They did great!!
Milk Bar Closes in 10 Days!
Our puppies started on solid food today! They LOVED it!!
They will still nurse but I gradually cut back Artemis’s food so her supply dwindles slowly. Just like people, you don’t want to stop “Cold Turkey”!
I give them Royal Canin puppy food that has soaked in water. Then I run it thru my mini-food processor.
You might also notice the baking pans filled with pine pellets. This is the first step in potty training. They are doing great. We start them at 3 weeks so this is one week into it.
Open Eyes, Puppy Growls and Mouthing….oh my!
And then….30 seconds later…they crashed!
A Puddle of Puppies!
As we all know, babies sleep all the time. Like 90% of the time!
Puppies are no different. But, while their brains are resting, their little bodies are still in constant motion! Some movements are just adjusting themselves, seeking a warm body or looking for mom. Other movements … the more sporadic ones…are critical to their muscle development. Called “activated sleep”, these twitches and pops actually help their tiny muscles get stronger and builds nerve connections that are critical to motor coordination.
