Morning Play Time
Moms are eating outside the Puppy Pen now because they are not willing to share!
But it is a perfect time to get the puppies at their playful best.
Note our new setup. One of the whelping boxes is still in the pen as a private bedroom for the moms when they want some peace.
I vary the flooring in the pen with lots of different textures and a fluffy crate bed for them to climb on and build strength in their legs.
And I have added a pee pad which they are already using.
Finally, I left the original sound on the video. I think their little growls and barks are a hoot!
Enjoy!!
What a fun stage!
And…just like that…they are sound asleep!
Mouthing Phase is Normal and Important!
At 3 weeks puppies will start exploring their environment and their littermates by “mouthing”.
This is not to be confused with a 10 week old puppy’s mouthing which can be a bit painful!
I find it endearing…one of the first signs of interaction with others around them.
And these are Sunshine’s Pups!
Our puppies are getting so big! Sunshine’s pups eyes are open! It won’t be long before Artemis’s are as well. Ben chose a “garden” theme for Sunshine’s pups. I think he picked some pretty cool ones!!

Puppies Are Beginning to Move Around…and Some Closeups
Newborn puppies don’t move much. Actually, skootch might be a better term because their little legs arent strong enough to support their weight yet. But once they get to two weeks old, they get the hang of it.
Getting some early socializing!
Grandson Ben absolutely loves puppies! He is so gentle!
Sunshine’s cream and white boy.
Sunshine’s black partis are both boys; sable partis are both girls
Puppies pink noses are beginning to get pigment.
