Peach's Starting Five - Six Weeks

 

Maybe I will reattempt a group picture later today, but yesterday these boys were NOT interested in holding still long enough to capture them all in one frame. Not even a crate could keep them long enough for a picture. Maybe if I wait until they are really tired after a puppy break I can catch them for a picture.

This week the puppies have gone from barely hobbling out of their enclosure for a tiny exploration, to demanding several long puppy breaks throughout the day. For the most part their puppy breaks are limited to a small area as they are still working on hitting the potty pads with consistency.

Puppies are cutting teeth and mastering eating solid foods, which is great because Momma Peach is ready to be done. She visits them very infrequently and they are now getting most of their nutrition from their puppy food. Their favorite is canned Nutrisouce Puppy but they dabble in the hard kibble (Same brand). Next stage of food will be softened kibble (soaked in water) before they move entirely to kibble.

Looking forward to this coming week, I think we will take the puppies outside and start to teach them about the great outdoors! 

All of the puppies in this litter have been reserved. Individual pictures can be found in Peach's Nursery.
