The puppies have mastered sleeping in their crates of a night and taking a day nap crated. They are easily settled and content in their crates while I do chores for an hour or two here and there. We are taking lots of trips outside for potty breaks and exploring the dormant gardens. The outside world has introduced the puppies to mud, grass and other plants, stone paths, birds and the voices of people who walk past on the local nature trail next to our home. The puppies have really enjoyed the early Spring sunshine and even got to play in the snow all in the same week! They have walked on 11 different surfaces (concrete patio, gravel paths, grass, dirt, tile floor, throw rug, carpeted step, plastic play equipment, snow covered ground, hardwood floor); these different surfaces help build confidence in young puppies as they transition in development. The puppies received their distemper and adenovirus vaccines and had their nails trimmed.

Oh my goodness.. I feel like a kid in a candy shop. The next week is going to be rough.. evaluating who I will be keeping from this crew and their final vet visit before they go home.

Babe's puppies have received their first round of vaccines and are enjoying playing outside in the beautiful sun.

Babe's puppies are finally little dogs, Babe sleeps away from her puppies of a night and is only nursing a few times a day. The puppies spend most of their day playing and figuring out the slide, wobble board and toys. The puppies had their nails trimmed and were dewormed this week.

February 4, 2017
Babe's puppies are four weeks old. Eating solid food that is moistened but not mushy, climbing on the slide and working balancing the wobble board. They have moved into the family room where they are enjoying the fast paced life around them. A video will come soon.

It is a great feeling to finally see the puppies stabilizing! Eyes are open! The puppies still do not have full vision and won't even at 8 weeks of age. They can tell by smell if I or someone else has walked into the room. They are moving on their own and actually standing up and taking a few steps.

This week the puppies have continued to be handled daily and received Bio-Senor feedback which helps them build healthy immune systems, improved cardio vascular performance, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress and greater resistance to disease.

The U.S. Military in their canine program developed a method that still serves as a guide to what works. In an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Later, it became known to the public as the "Super Dog" Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the individual.

The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized six exercises, which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involved handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in nor order of preference the handler starts with one put and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup. The handling of each pup once per day involves the following exercises:

1. Tactile stimulation - holding the pup in one hand, the handler gently stimulates (tickles) the pup between the toes on any one foot using a Q-tip. It is not necessary to see that the pup is feeling the tickle. Time of stimulation 3 - 5 seconds.

2. Head held erect - using both hands, the pup is held perpendicular to the ground, (straight up), so that its head is directly above its tail. This is an upwards position. Time of stimulation 3 - 5 seconds

3. Head pointed down - holding the pup firmly with both hands the head is reversed and is pointed downward so that it is pointing towards the ground. Time of stimulation 3 - 5 seconds

4. Supine position - hold the pup so that its back is resting in the palm of both hands with its muzzle facing the ceiling. The pup while on its back is allowed to sleep struggle. Time of stimulation 3-5 seconds.

5. Thermal stimulation - use a damp towel that has been cooled in a refrigerator for at least five minutes. Place the pup on the towel, feet down. Do not restrain it from moving. Time of stimulation 3-5 seconds.

Eyes have opened!

January 21, 2017
Babe's puppies are two weeks old and getting fat. Eyes should be opening any day.. The puppies still rely on their mother for all of their needs.

One little princess is staying rather small and we are watching her closely to make sure that she is thriving. I know it is clear that two puppies are gone.. it was a rough week.

January 14, 2017
The first week of life is really delicate. Life tends to be a vicious circle at times. So much beauty in a tiny living creature, so much need from a single source. Puppies are completely dependent on their mother to regulate their body temperature by suppling them with warmth from her body. Puppies also require constant nourishment to maintain their blood sugar levels which help the retain the heat from their mother. Without one they cannot take advantage of the other. It is like a dance.

During the first week of life a puppy cannot see or hear and rely on their sense of smell to locate their mom.

Babe is doing a good job and finding balance in her new role as a mom.
