Puppy Romp at 5.5 Weeks Old!

5 Weeks Old!




The puppies are growing well and getting to the "busy stage"...! They love to play and romp with each other. I have been taking them outside to play and explore in the grass. They are eating three times a day now and are nursing less. Maggie nurses them about 4 times a day for about 5 minutes and she lets them know when their new, sharp little teeth are hurting her....! They are using the litterbox for pooping most of the time now. Their personalities are showing more every day and they are all confident, happy puppies. The happy-go-lucky ones are Roxie, Lexi, Jake, and Cocoa. The ones that take their time exploring new things are Louie, Rocky, Penny, and Shadow. Shadow and Jake have curly, soft, non-shedding coats and they will be great for families with dog allergies. Roxie, Louie, Penny, and Cocoa have soft, wavy fleece coats. Rocky and Lexi have wavy to curly coats that may shed a little. All of the puppies love people and our other dogs and cat. My girls and I spend a lot of time with the puppies, cuddling and holding them as well as brushing them and talking to them.
