I am not sure what I am going to do after these babies go home. We have been busy this past week and Glitch's babies are ready to join their families.

Puppies are photographed in the same order every week and wear color-coded collars. L-R: Pin2k S Girl, Lavender S Girl, Yellow Girl, Red Boy, Purple Boy, Yellow Boy.

Pink S Girl- BarkelyHenning Fishers IN 2nd NVL Puppy!!
Lavender S Girl- Solomon Family South Elgin IL 2nd NVL Puppy!!
Yellow Girl- Candy Crush NVL Prospect
Red Boy- Murphy Skeel Franklin IN 2nd NVL Puppy!!
Purple Boy- Ozzie Schneider De Pere WI 2nd NVL Puppy!!
Yellow Boy- Zeus NVL Prospect

Another litter that I literally wanted to keep every single puppy from. I am telling you it is hard to not want to keep them all. Please let me know your puppy's name by Tuesday so that I can get their packets prepared. Order food today so that you have it when you get home with your puppy. They eat the Turkey & Sweet potato formula of pawTree You will not find this food at the store and your puppy should eat the same food during the first year of his life while his GI system matures. pawTree's probiotics will help your puppy stay healthy during the stress of the transition. The puppies love all of the toppers too! Please set up Baxter & Bella now! There is so much prepuppy homework to get done before you pick up your puppy. Use code NOBLE for 25% off.

Glitch's puppies think they rule the world. They have grown so much this past week and they know it. They can now play on the bigger toys (steps, platform and ramp) that our big puppies play on. They have decided that they prefer to drag around the big dog's stuffed toys too! It is really funny to watch them play with toys three times bigger than them.

They got their nails trimmed, had a bath and got the first round of their vaccines.

As the weather has gotten nicer we are spending more time outside. The puppies have been loving the fresh air. It is cute to watch them stop, put their noses up and just smell the breeze.

Glitch's puppies are doing great and sleeping in their crates of a night and eating several meals a day of the pawTree Turkey & Sweet Potato.

Glitchie's babies have gotten so big and are enjoying their new larger play space. They are working on eating softened food but still eat several meals at Glitch's Milk Bar.

They have such serious expressions!

Glitch's babies are on the move! I thought they were busy last week! They have mastered walking and are on to running! It is cute to watch them run because they are sooo tiny! They would also very much like to eat real food. I have started softening Glitch's food, the puppies are quick to take advantage when she is out to potty.

The puppies' eyes have just opened but they 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.
