Olive x Coriander's Litter at Five Weeks!

This past week has seen a few carefully orchestrated changes. As I have said before, new experiences are very important for development but they need to be done so as not to frighten the pups.

It was obvious to me that the pups needed to have more space, so I re-arranged the x-pens to allow that. They outgrew the crate so I brought in one of my large beds so that the pups and stuffed animals could all fit comfortably. While I was doing this, the pups enjoyed playtime outside the x-pen and the 'adolescents' from Clara's litter played behind the gate in the kitchen.



Once I had everything figured out, I brought them all in, one by one, to acquaint themselves with their new 'bedroom'. They were all quite content, so I added a new 'plaything' to their space - the tunnel. They took to it right away and had a wonderful time exploring the tunnel and their new bed. :+)
