Kingston and Whitney Litter – Week Four

Hard to believe we are 4 weeks old today!

“In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight….”

So maybe it’s not a real jungle and of course it’s not a real lion, but the puppies’ habitat had all the makings of it this week. Miss Linen demonstrated this as she stretched her mouth open as wide as it would go in order to fit Mr. Camel’s head into it, not unlike the hapless lion tamer. Now that the extension has been added to the whelping box, their area has doubled in size and the action inside of it is continually ramping up. We have the requisite stuffed animals in the box, further adding to the jungle theme. Since their hunting and chasing instincts are emerging, the gang practices with their plush toys using them as both pillows and playmates, but the most fun they’re having is the increased interaction with their littermates. And none of them care if their sibling is awake or asleep as was confirmed by Miss Strawberry observed munching on the sleeping Mr. Tangerine’s tail.

Mealtime is just as entertaining as the puppies are still lacking in table manners. Mr. Mint insists on belly surfing through the food dish before he actually gets down to business and Miss Carnation amuses us by pushing the food around with her paw arranging it into little portions of sorts. Somehow everyone has managed to actually eat their food since they all resemble plump little Buddhas as they lay snoring after dinner. The proof is revealed on the scale as they are now approaching six pounds in weight.

To work off the effects of this fine dining, the gang has an elaborate play station at its disposal. The little ones are developing their strength, co-ordination and cognitive skills as well as learning how to engage in an activity with a littermate, even if it’s just bumping heads. The puppies have saved the best part of their interactions for us. They react to each and every little sound and their little heads bob back and forth as we move about the room; their eyes taking in every trace of movement. Above all, they delight in being picked up and cuddled. Some enjoy belly rubs while stretched out on their backs while others content themselves by trying to bite our noses or lick our faces. Good thing they’re all just baby teeth!

That’s it for now, but be sure to join us next week for another chilling installment of “Puppy Tales”.

A Big Week for Dutch and Fiona's Puppies!

Two weeks old today! Fiona's puppies are now two weeks old, and what an exciting stage this is! Every day brings new changes as the puppies grow stronger, more aware, and even more adorable (if that’s possible). At this age, the biggest milestone is that their eyes are now open! Though their vision is still a bit blurry, they’re beginning to see the world for the first time — mostly shapes, light, and movement. Over the next week, their eyesight will continue to sharpen, and they’ll start recognizing their littermates, their mom, and of course, us humans. The puppies are also becoming more mobile. Their wobbly little legs are gaining strength as they start to scoot, crawl, and even attempt to stand. It’s amazing to watch how quickly they go from tiny, sleepy newborns to curious explorers. Fiona is doing a wonderful job keeping everyone clean, warm, and fed. Although she doesn't have the milk supply we hoped for, we are supplementing by bottle feeding at least once daily. The p...

Three Weeks Old — A Big Milestone for Fiona and Dutch’s Puppies!

Today marks a special milestone for our puppies from Dutch and Fiona— they’re three weeks old! The puppies have begun eating on their own, a big step in their early development. Fiona is still nursing, but less frequently now, as the puppies transition to solid food. Because her milk supply was limited, we’ve been bottle-feeding to supplement their nutrition over the past few weeks. Now that they’re confidently eating on their own, it’s wonderful to see them thriving and growing stronger every day. At three weeks, puppies start showing more awareness of their surroundings. Their little legs are steadier, their eyes and ears are fully open, and their curiosity is blooming. They’re beginning to interact with one another — playful tumbles, wagging tails, and the sweetest attempts at barking! And as for Fiona… she’s quite happy with this new stage too — especially because she gets to enjoy all the leftovers once the puppies are done eating! Stay tuned.....
