Oh My Gosh! It is real now! It won't be long before your puppy is in your arms. Please let me know your puppy's name by Tuesday so that I can finish their packets for you. 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!

Pika's puppies have matured and look like real little sized dogs this week. I think this is my favorite week. All of the growth and development is really visible this week. They chase us and Pika in the grass! They can almost outrun us and if there were more it might feel like we were being chased down by attack puppies! Getting them good and tired is the key to having them sleep well in their crates. They have explored and played on different textured gravel, tile, concrete, grass, and water this week. They got their first of four puppy boosters this week. They will receive another before they go home and your veterinarian will complete the remaining two boosters spaced out at 12 and 16 weeks of age. The puppies were brushed and had their nails trimmed this week too.

At five weeks of age, the puppies are have mastered all that we have expected them to and more. I love Pikachu & Jammers' babies. They are lively and happy babies. They have very active tails and kissers! The babies have started napping a few hours every day in their crates with a buddy. This helps them prepare for real-life crate training when they go home. We have ventured outside this week to explore the grass and sunshine but it has been very hot so we only go out for short periods. The puppies have found a lot of interesting things to play with outside.

They are getting big fast. Pikachu's babies are four weeks old. Almost 100% trained to their potty station, I find fewer accidents every day. They have started to eat the turkey & sweet potato pawTree soaked and softened because their teeth have not erupted yet. They love playing with their new toys (holee-roller balls and soft GoDog dinosaur babies). They wag their tails when they see you enter their space. It is so sweet. A few of them have little underbites which is purely cosmetic.

I love this stage of development... There is so much going on.

Week Three for Pikachu's puppies! The puppies were introduced to their potty station last week after their eyes opened and are having successful potties on the potty station. This is an important housekeeping skill! Puppies who learn from an early age to keep their area clean are much easier to potty train because they prefer to live in a clean environment. They would also really like to eat Pikachu's lunch. It is cute to watch them run to the bowl as I fill it in the morning... they aren't ready to eat solids yet but it is cute to watch them try!

The puppies had their nails trimmed and continue daily handling.

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 cardiovascular 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 on 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.

Pikachu's babies are one week old. Did you know that dogs are an altricial species they are born before they are fully developed in contrast to precocial species who can stand and walk around within hours of birth?

Apart from not being able to stand puppies are not yet fully developed. Their eyes and ears are sealed shut to protect them while they continue to develop. It will take a puppy months of development to achieve what other mammals can do shortly after birth.

There is a huge social aspect to this. Precocial species are able to wander off and get lost moments after birth. It is for their protection that they imprint and bond with their mother and distrust and fear everything else. In contrast, altricial species cannot wonder off for weeks or even months after birth so they will always be under the protection of their mother. They have a long and flexible social period. It is because of this that humans and dogs are able to bond so closely.

It has been a while since we have posted a Pupdate.... Wait no more...

Pikachu & Jammers made these! I can't wait for the next eight weeks. To watch them grow into the companions that will fill your home with so much joy, love, and kisses.

Right now they require their mother to keep them warm, to keep them clean and their bellies full. This is a circle that must be maintained in complete form, without one the others can't happen. Cold babies can't digest, food is required to maintain blood sugar levels to maintain warmth, their mother must stimulate them in order for their bowels to work.

Watch our website weekly for updates and to watch them grow!
