Week 4

I can't believe they are already turning 4 weeks old today. They are eating solid food (still softened), and really getting into playing with everything. This week we will continue stand, sit, here, and up, and will be adding in the very early "whoa" introductions. Also we will be starting to indroduce gunfire this week, starting with a kids cap gun during feeding time and moving to a 22blank pistol. We will start taking longer walks and add in some new places, incuding taller grass, and woods. We may start some pond visits depending on the weather -- if is stays warm and sunny. If it's cool we will work with warm water here in the yard. The puppies have moved out of the whelping box and into "half crates." The bottom half of a crate is placed on papers to start to develop habit of sleeping in a smaller space and getting out of bed and off the blankets to use the "potty." We will also start adding in a few short car trips when they are sleepy, and see how that goes.



The video posting is proving to be extrordinarily time consuming. I will still continue to post lots of comments and videos, but feel free to ask if you don't see a puppy you are interested up yet. Often I have the footage, but the uploading and editing to keep them short enough to post takes a while.
