Happy 1st week birthday to our sweet little babies! Annie is such a calm, loving and doting mama! The puppies are very content just to saddle up to the milk bar, camp out there for a bit, sleep for a while and do it all over again in a couple of hours round the clock! What a life! 🙂
We’ve started using the Super Dog Program of exercises with the puppies and cuddle them all the time, getting them used to human touch early on in their development. Their eyes will open in a week or so. Their ear canals will open in a couple of weeks as well so they will be able to hear at that point. Right now we’re playing soft classical music for Annie to enjoy while she nurses her pups! The entire puppy nursery is very serene and calming….kind of like a puppy day spa atmosphere….) When the puppies can hear in a few weeks, we’ll have them listening to a special CD that contains all kinds of inside and outside “noises” they’ll encounter as a puppy such as vacuum cleaners, pots and pans clanging, dishwashers, cars, horns, airplanes, etc.. This helps prepare them for what they’ll experience when they go home to their families!
Hope everyone has a happy July 4th weekend! Thanks for taking a peek at our precious new arrivals!! 🙂
