Six Weeks Old and Halfway Home!
Edgewood, NM - Well, Polly’s gang is halfway (to their new) homes. They outgrew the whelping box at five weeks. We moved them to bigger quarters, so they can more easily play, rough house, and grow up. There are puppy playpens inside and outside of our home. The playpens are equipped with pet cots and litter boxes (for that head start on house-breaking). But they still love sleeping together on a blanket in the inside playpen. Click here for many new photos and a movie.
Weaning is well underway, started at four weeks. The puppies have progressed to dry crushed puppy food. But, mom will still jump in the playpen to nurse once or twice a day. That should end in about one week and then it will be time for their first shot…a DAP combo. Puppy evaluation will be at a “party” in two weekends.
Bo, Valle and I are headed to Long Beach, CA next weekend for the Long Beach, Beverly Hills and Great Western Terrier Shows while everyone here holds down the fort. And, Valle gets to see her second “mom” Betty as she will be at the shows.
