4 Weeks Old

Week 5, here we come!

I can't believe we are into the second month. The puppies are full on running around now. They are still mostly sleeping but after a full belly and a good nap they spring to life for about 15 minutes. In the 15 minutes, they manage to poop and pee more than I thought could be possible. Playing with each other has graduated from licking faces to chewing on ears and pawing at one another. I watched Sofie teach one of her girls how to play today. She showed her how to spin in circles really fast and the proper tail wag method. I really wish I would've gotten the interaction on camera to show everyone, maybe next time. The pups are eating more solid food now. I'm starting their first round of deworming this week. I didn't want to start too early, as I know it can be hard on their little stomachs. I hope to have them pretty much weaned off of the mothers milk by the end of this week. Their teeth are really in now, I can't imagine what that must feel like for Sofie when she's nursing. The pups are getting their fair share of social interactions. We've had a few visitors this weekend, to those who came out I thank you. It's important for the puppies to get plenty of positive social experiences so they don't get fearful. This week I look forward to speaking with everyone who has called, to set up a date to come pick out the puppy they want. I still have to pick which one I'll be keeping and it's honestly going to be so difficult to pick! They are all too cute!
