Here is a nice long video for all you patient puppy homes! I do apologize for the lack of content, there has been a lot going on lately (as always, but seems extra somehow) and while I have been spending time with and observing the puppies, I do not always get around to posting 🫠
Anyways! Today's novel item was a crackley shopping bag and the pups seemed unconcerned for the most part, although Teal wasn't so sure. It is normal for puppies to be startled by strange new noises or sights, but quick recovery time is important- indicating a stable, confident nature. If any pup continues to show uncertainty or lack of confidence, I will work with them one on one to help build that up. Often, at this young age, a day or two can make a huge difference in response to novelty- eyesight improves a bit, experience proves that bad things don't follow strange noises, etc. Vesper is getting very tired of all the sharp teeth, so I now have the pups on 3 meals a day, with some dry kibble left out at all times- they feel very big crunching away on that 😄
My children (3 & 11 months) make sure the pups get their daily dose of socializing- its adorable to see those fuzzy tails wag double time when the kids appear!
