PUPPIES WEEK 4 !!!!!!!!!!!!
The time is flying by! They were just born!!!!
The puppies have teeth and Abilene is not impressed! They are playing with each other and barking at one another! They ALL come to me as quickly as their little legs will carry them! They snuggle and sleep on me. Tonight they ate their food like real dogs! All of them! Up till now they have been eating but not like they thought I was a good cook! They will go Outside this week for the first time!
Week Four (Days 22-28)
- DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUPPIES
-
- Begin to eat food
- Begin to bark, wag tails, bite, paw, bare teeth, growl and chase
- Use legs well
- Tire easily

- Keep mom with them a lot! Things can get overwhelming at this age and Mom will add stability for them
- Each pup needs individual attention

Kay, Abilene and Puppies,
I so enjoy checking the progress of your “family” every day. Won’t it be hard to see these babies grow up and leave the nest?
It is quite exciting to read about their progress so often…makes me enjoy email and your web site is a treat that Ralph and I both enjoy tremendously. You must spend hours with them.
Take care and have a happy day!
PS. I have just finished reading MARLY AND ME. That is a terrific book. I think I will see if our local library has the movie on DVD.
Oh Kay. Congratulations on an absolutely beautiful litter of pups!!! Think my favs are Midnight….and Sparkles!! U know I luv those tris! Also enjow so much following their journey on your website.
My Brody is growing leaps and bounds. Hope to see/talk to you soon. Take care.
Kay, Considering how slow my computer is, your website was great today. Mind you, I didn’t look for photos yet but if you are waiting to see if things are on go…. Sure hope Yahoo is up to snuf! We miss the show. Very interesting. Ellen
