A week or two ago, I posted a video of the puppies’ first time with this climbing toy in their pen. They were a bit clumsy, but resilient. Through traversing different heights and textures in their pen, they improve their proprioception and balance, and you can see already how much more adept they are in navigating the ramp. Learning body awareness helps them in the future and can help prevent injuries, but it’s also neurologically enriching and confidence building.

The puppies had a wonderful time at their "puppy party" last night - some of our coworkers at What a Great Dog joined us to play, cuddle and teach the puppies. They had positive exposure to a variety of different obstacles and people of all ages, wearing hats and other silly things. We're grateful to everyone who came out to help with the puppies' socialization!

Six (ish) week stacks! Very pleased with how they are developing - even just from last week, they look a bit more like dogs and less like potatoes with legs. Cobreeder Adrian helped stack them on a table before our puppy party this evening, and they did awesome, even being in a brand new place!

Settling in for a nap after dinner time ❤️ I love a clean puppy pen! While they aren’t perfect, this litter has been rather reliable with pottying on their grass patch when in their pen. They spend a good amount of time in the yard or out in the rest of the house, but their pen is where they sleep overnight and stay if we have to be gone, and during down time throughout the day. We rotate the items in the pen near daily, so they become familiar with change, and get the chance to interact with and navigate a variety of different obstacles and items. The only thing that stays the same is the location of the grass patch - puppies naturally tend toward a consistent space, so we take advantage of that. Most of their “furniture” comes from Facebook marketplace or garage sales - we bleach everything before adding it to the rotation. The foam block “tunnel” is new to us, and has been a fun addition!

Puppies enjoying some playtime with busy city sounds in the background. Playing different sounds while the puppies are doing fun things can help desensitize them to various noises they may encounter in their lives. It’s not as good as the real thing, but it definitely doesn’t hurt!

Happy six weeks to the puppies! Time is just flying by, they are growing so fast. We'll get updated stack photos this weekend, but for now, enjoy some outdoor shots of the pups this afternoon. Keeping cool in their little baby pool!

The puppies had their first trip to our wonderful family owned pet store Paw of the Family ❤️ their new stroller made it an easy visit - they all got to safely take in the new sights, sounds and smells without me needing a second person to help. And of course they loved meeting some new friends along the way!
