The litter is three weeks old now π
They are still sleeping a heap but have little bouts of play. They are learning how to play and interact with each other now that they can see and hear. They are also learning how to interact with us humans and figure out how we fit into their world. While they are being held we do all the handling practice too which includes touching their feet, ears, mouth, tail and nose. They don't mind being upside down at all and will often go to sleep.
Now that their ears are open we are getting them used to all kinds of household sounds. On the TV we play different types of movies, TV shows and sounds for them to get used to. They also get used to kitchen noises, daily vacuuming, power tools, blow dryers, and lots of other sounds.
They will start on solids this week too which is a big step and a lot of mess! Poppy will appreciate having to feed them less and be able to just play with them more. They will get better with the puppy potty tray too. Puppies are naturally clean and will take themselves away from their bedding to toilet. A lot happens this week!
