WOW I can't believe we are already preparing for the babies to venture off on their own with their new families. They have been really great babies to raise. When the litter is small like this they get so much individualized attention that they feel like they should be staying with me forever.

Puppies have been photographed weekly in the same order from left to right. Pink Girl, Red Boy, Purple Boy

Pink Girl- Taffy NVL Prospect. Guardian Home Needed!!

Red Boy- Shecterle Family Brookfield WI 2nd NVL Puppy!!!

Purple Boy- Tucker Salley Beavercreek OH 2nd NVL Puppy!!!

The puppies love all of the toppers too!

The musketeers

Twizzler's babies are so fat! They had a hard time sitting on the chair together.

They are loving the food life! They are being fed PawTrees Turkey & Sweet Potato food softened and still nurse several times a day. Their day pretty much consists of eating, napping off their food hangover and killing their GoDog dragons!

They are right on track

From itty bitty babies with their eyes and ears sealed shut to little creatures who look like dogs. Puppies go through developmental stages quickly. From the time their eyes open it becomes remarkably noticeable.

Twizzler's babies have started eating PawTree's turkey & sweet potato formula kibble softened. They still nurse several times a day. This has given Twizzler the ability to start sleeping away from the puppies on our bed. The puppies have started exploring and playing with toys. They had their nails trimmed this week and we have continued their handling exercises. They just melt like butter in your hands. It is sweet to feel their muscles relax as you hold them.

Twizzler's babies are like little dumplings. They are so soft and squishy. You pick them up and they instantly go to sleep in your hands. You can feel every muscle relax as you hold them. They have outgrown their collars already. They are growing so fast xoxo

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 seconds3. 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 seconds4. 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.

Twizzler's babies are 10 days 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.

There are some new kids on the block and I expect they will be a big hit. Twizzler and her babies are doing great.

The first week of life is really delicate. Life is a circle. 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.
