Week three is always full of development. The pups are almost walking, well they walk but look like bumper cars...not quite walking in a straight line. :+)
There has been a big jump in their weight gains as you can see by comparing their two week weights to the new numbers. Brinkley is eating a lot but they eat up all her calories! Soon, I will be providing the pups with a milk supplement to help ease the load on Brinkley.
Interesting enough, Brinkley comes up to the bedroom every night to sleep. She likes everyone in the same room - human and furry friends. She happily finds a spot on a rug and wakes me up each morning when she figures it is time for breakfast.
Now that the puppies have full use of their eyes and ears, I must be careful not to scare them with loud or intimidating noises - this is a very sensitive time in their development. So I sweep instead of vacuuming and keep a 'calm' music video on 24 hours a day in their room.
They are beginning to use the potty area more and more each day. Right now, the 'box' has a pee pad in it and I spray a clean one with a 'potty here' spray to help them 'smell' where they need to go. It works very well. In another week, I will have to make the potty area bigger and rearrange the room. They grow a lot in a week. :+)
Here are the THREE WEEK pics!
Such beautiful photos of the puppies! I have been waiting for the new post. Sounds like everyone is doing really well. Thank you for being such a great and careful human mom to Brinkley and the pups.
