Puppies Have Arrived!

Leave a Comment

Luna delivered 6 beautiful puppies on Monday. I should actually say my vet delivered them as she had a c-section! LOL.

She has recovered extremely well and is one of the most attentive puppy moms I have had. To the point of moving them to a different place in my bedroom if she isn’t happy with the whelping box. It took some convincing to ensure her that the whelping box is really the best place. Amazing how those canine instincts come into play.

Struggling with names so stay tuned on that!

We have already begun our Puppy Culture protocol. This week is fairly simple. Gentle handling, belly rubs and soothing voice (which they probably cant hear yet but they still get the ‘vibes’.

 

Puppy Culture Enrichment Effect

Leave a Comment

Puppy Culture recommends adding a different toy, object, obstacle etc. to the puppy pen every day. Puppies That are stimulated in this way. Here is what they say, ”

“Puppies raised with lots of stimulation actually grow more brain than puppies raised in a boring environment. They demonstrate increased learning development. This is called the enrichment effect.

Also add the litter box filled with pine pellets. Negotiating the litter box builds muscles.”

They really love this new toy I got. So many nooks, crannies, obstacles and objects!

I hope you can download this video: 

Or, here is the You-tube version!

 

Hippity and Peeps can even navigate the slide!

And I introduced them to my little electric vacuum. Did not pose any issue to Peter C. or Daffodil. Will try again soon with the others!

Picnic in the play set! Hoppity is squeezing thru one of the openings!
