It's incredible how much these puppies change from day to day, they're now really playing with each other, with toys and with us. They come running over when we are near by with wagging tails, it's so lovely to see. Kumi is now a bit fed up with the puppies as they have teeth! This week we'll start to introduce food as Kumi is avoiding feeding them as much as she was.
Beige is maintaining his position as heaviest puppy with Orange close behind him, they're all gaining over 450g a week and are just shy of 2kg each.
Today I introduced some time alone, I took each puppy either upstairs or into the kitchen where they couldn't hear their litter mates and spent a minute cuddling and playing with their feet, lifting their lips to look at their teeth etc. We're doing these things to start getting them used to being handled and coping alone, once they move into the outer kitchen this weekend we will start doing even more of this. Everyone coped really well and had no worries at all.
This week marks the beginning of the puppy culture, we've been doing little things but now we're getting into the nitty gritty. You can see what we have planned here http://jigsawdogs.weebly.com/puppy-culture-journey.html
