5, 6, 7, 8 weeks...and beyond.
Time to make friends! Your puppies are old enough by about weeks four, five, six and beyond to start meeting more humans and learning how to make friends with them.
The next few weeks can be a fun time as they learn to play and interact with people.
They're weaned. By the time the puppies are about 6 weeks old, they'll be on full-time kibble patrol.
Keep on growing.
Your puppies may be full of spunk and quite capable by 8 weeks or so, but make no mistakeโthey're going to keep growing and developing for some time.
It may take a full year before your puppies are full-grown adults, and some breeds take even longer than that.
Farewell, littermates! At some point, the puppies will graduate away from the litter and move on to new lives with their new loving families. To help ease the transition, why not supply them with an oh-so-comfy heated bed and pillow that mimics the heartbeat of their mother dog, like the Mother's Heartbeat Heated Puppy Pet Bed with Bone Pillow (You can even select a pillow that matches the size and heart rate of your puppies' breed.)
Oh the cuteness!!! ๐ฅน

Riot Giving Birth
Riot was so nervous when she went into labor. It was her first time and she was pacing back & forth in our room. I finally got the idea to sit in her โwhelping boxโ and she came over and laid down in my lap. I thought maybe she just wanted dome cuddles but within seconds she started pushing and pushed out the first puppy out right in my lap. It took some convincing to get her to let me out of the pool ๐คฃ but she finally did, as long as her Dad and I stayed close by. And she did fantastically!!! 9 pups born in under 4 hours, all super healthy and happy! Only two pups needed a little fluid cleaned away, and I got to see something I have never seen in a litter before, two pups in one embryonic sack! (Wish we had started filming before then!)
At first she wouldnt leave them, even to go pee.. Now 5 days later she is sleeping outside the box on occasion and getting her โMom timeโ ๐๐ค๐๐ค
