It's hard to believe that Tulip's puppies are already four weeks old! In just the past week, these little bundles of joy have had so many new experiences . The puppies have recently made the big transition from being in our bedroom to exploring the wider world of the living room. This new, more open environment has allowed them to start truly interacting with their litter mates and the people who come to visit. At this stage, the puppies are learning crucial social skills as they play, wrestle, and communicate with each other using a variety of vocalizations like yips and barks. They learn how to interact with others and start to learn bite inhibition.
The puppies' sensory abilities are also maturing rapidly. Their sight, hearing, and sense of smell are continuing to sharpen, allowing them to better perceive and engage with their surroundings. To support this growth, the puppies have been introduced to a variety of toys and an activity center, which they enthusiastically investigate and play with. While they still spend a good portion of their day sleeping, the puppies are now staying awake for longer periods, energetically romping and bonding with their siblings.
Tulip's puppies have graduated from a single daily meal to a more robust schedule of three feedings at 7am, 1pm, and 7pm. Their diet has also expanded to include an assortment of protein sources like turkey, beef, chicken, and duck, as well as nutrient-rich supplements like fermented goat's milk, Mega C* and K9 Puppy Gold*. Tulip is certainly getting a much-needed break from constantly nursing her rapidly growing pups!
Stay tuned.....
