Growing Up, Almost (5) Five Weeks Old!

Ranger, Missy's back, Rocky and Maggie

The puppies are changing so much, each week. 

I'm watching their growth, thru pictures.

Rocky 4.5 weeks

They're in the big pen and since their teeth are coming in, Trixie is limiting nursing (torture). Part of this process is learning what hurts and normal reactions, for these feelings.  

 

 

They are eating more puppy food, are running (well  hopping) in the pen and are getting accustomed to their puppy pads.

Ranger 4.5 weeks

They've only been in the pen for 5 days but are all ready to get out and explore someplace else!

 

They tussle, bite and gnaw on each others ears, legs, tails and sometimes each other's heads. They are definitely teething!

Missy 4.5 weeks

Missy's is a very unique color. She's  Tri-color and looks cross between an auburn/mink.

 Learning what hurts is important, especially when they go to their 'Forever' homes. You don't want to encourage them to chew on anything other than toys and chew treats.  

 (Be sure to read the packages and make sure that the chews are age appropriate.)

Maggie 4.5 weeks

 

Trixie lets the big dogs go into the pen, which is being deterred. 

 One of the puppies thought that Holly was her mother and tried to nurse.  

 

To say that didn't go over very well is an understatement!
