nice. A female is pictured to the left. She loves to have her

will start them on the dry puppy food by this weekend. The weaning process
will start on Friday with less milk from Mariah and more puppy food.

All 10 puppies are playing to the left, they have been
training to potty on the pine shavings, and are progressing well. Then
the shavings area will get smaller and next week will start taking them
outside to exercise and potty every 2 hours to get them on a routine
schedule from 6am to 10pm. Some of the puppies are now sleeping in the
smaller crates with the doors off, the female is already in a crate wanting
to rest, pictured to the right. Next week a larger crate will be added
plus a big puppy bed for them to lay on and play, plus more toys. |

The puppies are now 19 days of age and are so
adorable. They are active and love a lot of socialization during
playtime. They all want to be held, climbing on our laps and wanting
their tummies rubbed. Their teeth are in, ahead of being 3 weeks of
age and will start their first feeding on day 20. They all seem to be
advancing 4 to 5 days ahead of some litters we have had in the past, as well
as, enjoying the extra time spent with socialization. |

A male puppy is pictured to the left and more puppies
are on the right. Mariah is taking very good care of her puppies, she
is eating 4 meals daily plus snacks to provide plenty of milk for them.
The smaller 2 puppies eyes opened 4 days before 2 weeks of age, and their
teeth were almost in, ahead of schedule - Rip's owner informed me to not be
surprised. They all are growing bigger each day and let us know when
they are awake - vocally much louder to let us know it is playtime. The
delay in the posting of the pictures was that they were so active, I had to
get a new camera to capture the photo's without it being blurred. |
