Week 3

Half way during the week, we noticed (because of the daily weighing of the puppies) that their growth slowed down a little. Feeding 9 puppies on her own is of course very tough on Wish, so we have already started to feed the little ones additional food. Immediately the weights went up again, also because Wish is still giving them as much as she can.

Daily life

It's like these are super-puppies (or would it be because their dad is a top agility dog with a MACH title); their development is going unbelievably fast. We have never started to give additional food at such an early stage, the pups thought the litter-box too small already and demanded the entire puppy pen. And if that's not enough, they have already started to explore the living room too. This is going to be an interesting couple of weeks coming up! And furthermore we just continue enjoying, and we have thrown the TV out of the house because the puppies are playing with each other, with their toys, with us and with the visitors..
