Week 3 photo dump in no particular order as always (I really wish the forum would upload them in order by date!!) Any pics in the kitchen are the latest from Friday.
Also a few missing that Ill have to figure out which ones since I reached upload limit
I will post those later, wanted to get this uploaded for y'all before heading off to a family Christmas get together today! I'll try to get some videos up too cause those are always fun.
Pictures from week 3 of the Sulaco crew.
Personalities abound! Bring on play time!
During week 3 the puppies have had:
-their nails dremeled every other day
-been individually held and loved to accept being away from their littermates
-ears, mouth and paws manipulated to have them used to being handled
-exposed to random loud noises such as clapping, laughing and dropping pans to trigger their startle response recovery to aid them later in life that scary things happen and they will be more likely to recover quickly from it
-exposed to the vacuum pretty much daily, messy puppies!
-walked on a new surface, a loud crinkly plastic bag
-introduced to two new unsteady objects/surfaces, a slippery rolly tunnel and a spiky paw pod
-given their first blankets
-novel toys rotated daily
-played novel sounds for an hour a day with sounds such as airplanes, trains, a loud crowd, dogs barking, people laughing, rain storms etc.
-started eating mashed kibble formula mixture
-mom is seeing them as other dogs and starting to play with them
-learning to sit calmly to get what they want (before eating and interacting with them)
Pups offering calm sits for attention. We've been working hard on this!
More escapees and Ripley being a wonderful Mom left the box with them to let them nurse
Supportive Mom seeing her kids off to be big kids in the weaning pen.
Friday night all set up in their new home. It'll grow with them as they get bigger. Too much space and they won't find the litter box.

You should set some of those Christmas photos aside for next years calendar since they'd be great for December.
can you believe their time with you is already almost half over? Or is it... Only half over
