April and Adam visited our favorite vet today for a physical exam and their first set of puppy shots. April was very happy and excited to meet new people and but she didn’t like the shot. Adam was also excited, and he was very curious about everything. The shot didn’t phase him a bit.
April and Adam had an excursion today. They went to visit their younger cousins at Karen’s house. A fun time was had by all the puppies and one of the perks of a long playtime is the long nap they take afterward.
It’s hard to believe that the babies are 7 weeks old. Adam’s weight is generally about 1/2 pound more than April. On Sunday he weighed 3 lb. 8 oz. April weighed 2 lb. 14 oz.
Today the puppies had their first bath, their first experience with the hair dryer and their first haircut. They get an A +
April, after her bath. She was pretty brave.
Sunny is still spending lots of time with her babies. She feeds them, cleans them, plays with them and occasionally gives them a little growl to teach them some manners. This is exactly what a Momma dog should do!
It always happens. One of the puppies learns to climb out of the pen. This time is was Adam. When I made his area too tall to climb out, his mother couldn’t jump in. It’s time to remodel and redecorate. Now their sleeping space is secure, but smaller. Puppies need more space to run around and learn new things, so they have a big daytime pen set up in the bedroom.
Every puppy loves this little blue bed!
The little ones continue to grow and change. Their teeth are starting to come through. They are playing with each other and starting to notice their toys. Soon they will be introduced to softened food.
