Cupcake’s Litter Week 4

It’s so crazy to think that these sweet babies are almost 5 weeks old now. They have grown and changed so much in the last couple of weeks. They are starting to play more and they have both found their bark. We have given them 2 baths as well as their first dose of dewormer and they have had their nails trimmed multiple times now. They do great with bath time and are very relaxed with nail trims. We have also started to slowly introduce puppy mush, they haven’t decided if they like it or not… They both have their furever homes already lined up and their new owners are getting weekly videos and pictures and they have been able to video chat to see their sweet pups in real time. Mom is still being very attentive and spends most of her day hanging out with her babies. She hasn’t needed to correct any bad behaviors yet as these babies are probably the most chill litter I have ever had. They are getting more play time outside of their play pen and they are loving exploring the house. We are introducing a potty pan and will start working with them on going in it. We are also introducing more sounds. They are accustomed to the sound of dogs barking, my kids playing loudly, the vacuum cleaner as well as thunder and today they got to go out on the back porch and hear the chickens, goats, cows and ducks. They also got to meet the farm cat, Cole. They are taking every new sound in stride and haven’t really shown any fear yet. We introduce these sounds slowly as not to traumatize them. The little boy tends to be a little more curious and is quicker to check things out than his sister, Zoey. In just a little over a week they will be visiting our vet for their first set of shots and well visit. The next few weeks with them will definitely be bitter sweet. We love them so much but we are so excited for their new families as well.
