From the beginning of Week 3 until Week 4 arrives, the pups develop so much it is scary! They have learned to roam a bit more in their area, so expansion of their space is necessary. They can focus with their eyes and ears very well now so need exposure to new but gentle sounds and they now acknowledge my presence with little tail wags. :+) They continue to use the potty area with more purpose but still make mistakes. Pups have become very interested in the toys littered around the pen and LOVE the big frog that anchors a corner.
I have included a small bowl of water that still hangs a bit too high for them but still peaks their interest as they try and use it. In a few more days, drinking from it will be commonplace.
They are more more interactive with each other and learning to become dogs. Teeth are emerging, nails and eye trims are a weekly chore now and having one on one time with me is a daily event. Vet appointments will now need to be scheduled well in advance so I get the days and times I would like. CERF exams have already been scheduled
as well as their temperament test date. I will also be taking them for a weekly car ride. They are eating Goat's Milk with Gerber Meat in it and enjoying the new flavor in their diet. Soon real meat will be added along with supplements to help build strong bones and lush coats.
It won't be long now until they are outside playing amongst all the toys, balls, tunnel and agility assortments in their play-yard. They will be exposed to the puppy boat for playing in the water on the very hot days. So much to look forward to!
Lastly, company (new puppy owners) will be coming more routinely to visit and play with the pups which is so important and welcomed.
