Well, we are over the hump! Week Six and the upcoming weeks will have even more opportunities to be outdoors learning, investigating and enjoying more space and adventures. They have eaten there, slept, played and watched the other adults in the small pen. Now they will be all over the large pen.
Several pup families have visited as well which we all enjoy having. Thank goodness the weather has been cooperative so far!
This is a great time to read up on the PUPPY PREP LINKS. Lots of information there for you to think about: insurance, supplies, pup development....all important! Don't forget to read our CONTRACT on the website. Ask questions now before the hectic weeks begin!
You will be provided with a pup bag, full of toys, a harness-leash-collar set that you can use for a little bit until you decide to get one that you prefer plus your Pup Booklet. It is lots of fun to actually take your pup to a store to purchase other supplies once they are home with you. Lots of people to meet and greet - in a controlled setting. Do not allow your pup to run around all over the place - but do allow your pup to be in a carriage to say 'Hello' to new people of all sizes. Provide a treat for them to give your pup. This will go a long way to bring confidence, acceptance and positive experiences to your pup. Socialization is probably the MOST important step you can provide your pup through his 16th week of life. However, bringing a pup to a dog park is a DEFINITE 'no, no'. One bad experience with any strange dog can ruin your pup for life, unfortunately. Be the advocate for your pup, use common sense but don't be a 'smother mother'. :+)
Here are the six week pics!!
 | Miss Rose...well is a rose and she does have a few 'thorns'. :+)
|
 |
| Still the 'little guy'. However, he LOVES to be held and cuddled. |
 |
| Seems to be a 'middle of the road' guy. |
 |
| 'A get up & go' sort of pup. Typically, in the middle of anything going on. |
.
 |
| Friendly, adventurous and charming. |
 |
| A solid pup with substance and a dash of energy. |
 |
| Full of the dickens and charm. |
 |
| 'The Professor'. Calm, sweet, gentle with just a sprinkling of activity. |
 |
| Like the other two girls, likes to be in the middle of things. |
 |
| The heftiest pup at the moment. A pup that would do well in a busy but managed household. |
Just remember, pups change from day to day. Who was the most laid back this week could be a 'devil' the next week. Just like kids change as they mature - so do pups! Love, discipline, lot of repetitions always seem to keep things in check. :+)
VISITOR/RANDOM PICS!
 |
'Which one of you is next?'
|
 |
| How many hands are there for these ten pups??? |
 |
| 'WANTED'. Cuddles. |
 |
'I am the King of this mountain'.
|
 |
| 'Who is going to come home with me'? |
