Puppies have enjoyed a couple of sets of visitors this week. 🙂
Sorry the updates are slow. The puppies are keeping us busy. They have discovered the great outdoors and want to play outside whenever they can regardless of the weather. They like discovering things to chew on (they are chewers) and love wrestling with each other and Malibu. Malibu and Olive really like playing with them but sometimes they are a little rough and the puppies are really resilient. No screams or cries. Reese does a hilarious “fainting goat” impression whenever Malibu runs up to him I think because he knows she is going to roll him so he just beats her to it. Smart guy.
They are sleeping mostly through the night and if we can catch them around 5 AM, we can get clean pads and they do their business outside. Yay!
They are still nursing some (whenever they can catch Penny) and eating both solid kibbles and softened mush.
Their different personalities are starting to come out and I find myself saying “this one is my favorite” every time I pick one up.

I’m a little late in putting these up. Puppies have started (semi)solid foods this week and when that happens, Penny stops her clean up duties completely. We’ve been busy keeping clean here. They are now moved fully to the big kitchen pen and love it. They are chewers! Usually the puppies are satisfied with soft toys for a while, but these guys love the hard toys, like nylabones and hard rubber. They also love playing with their big sisters (Olive and Malibu) and launch themselves at the fence whenever one walks by if they aren’t in the pen with them. They are drinking water out of a bowl now and even crunching on regular kibbles.
I sure wish the temperatures weren’t frigid because I’m sure they would love being outside. They all jump out of the pen whenever the door is open. They still love listening to the Alexa and favorites this week are Christmas music, city sounds and Taylor Swift. So far they haven’t really shown any fear for loud noises but I also have not vacuumed right by them yet so we’ll see.

Today the puppies explored the kitchen pen today. They will spend more and more time here over the next few days and eventually move here full time. They were great and had no complaints. Big sisters helping acclimate them probably helped too but I think these guys are pretty mellow. They had their first licks of water today too. Tomorrow they try mushy puppy food! Fun!

Eyes and ears are open. Puppies are playing with toys, chewing on each other and motoring around the box. They are super fun!

As we hit 2 weeks old tomorrow, we’re bracing for lots of changes. 2 puppies have started opening eyes and some of them seem like they are starting to hear noises. They are all walking now instead of walrus crawling around the box. They are also holding their heads up really well now. They’re totally adorable.
