| They now realize there are others puppies around that they can play with. Whether they are chomping on an ear, a foot, or just plain getting into a tussle they are having a lot of fun. This is normal behavior and so cute to watch. They start playing with each other and then since they don't have very much coordination yet, they frequently will just topple over each other. Time to break out the toys!!! Now their eyes are fully opened and they can also hear. They are very aware when mom comes into the whelping box as usual but now they are starting to become aware of people around also. It won't be long before they will start running to anybody who comes near the whelping box, hoping to get picked up or at least pet. They are simply irresistable as they hurry over with a cute wag of their little tails. Makes your day. They will have gotten their very first taste of solid food this week, since their puppy teeth have come in. It will be a strange sensation for them, learning to chew their dinner made of a groul consisting of oatmeal, ground puppy morsals and organic yogurt, instead of just drinking nice warm milk from mom. It won't take them long though before they realize how good these new meals are, and will run excitedly over to the dish when it is placed before them. As they eat the solid food more, Maple will enter the box less frequently, therefore cutting down nursing from her which will aid them in the weaning process. |
