This will be a bit of a photo\/video dump but a lot has happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their personalities are starting to emerge. They had more visitors and bombled over to see them enthusiastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve been spending time loose (supervised) in the living room and they’re in the big pen all day now where they can see and hear TV (they are already starting to watch things moving on the screen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can escape from the whelping box so we have to put the panel into the door which means Alice wakes me up several times a night to go in with them to feed them. They are eating three meals of puppy mousse a day but only eating some of it at this point. They were very interested in Alice’s kibble so I will offer them some puppy kibble this week (Alice’s kibbles are too large for them right now and they didn’t like them ground up). They all have real teeth now and are chewing all kinds of different textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have a big bed in the pen now so they can stretch out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I LOVE the fact that when one of them got a little scared of Nina being too excited to play, she bounced right back! Bounce back is one of the most important traits in a dog IMO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They spend more and more time with the big dogs now, and are learning how to interact and “speak dog” well. They know how to invite and accept play, they bite and wrestle and play bitey face. They are ridiculously cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
