Ottie Puppies, Second Week


Eyes have opened, ears have opened and the party will soon begin.


It's still easier to trim nails when they are sleeping. This starts weekly at week 1 and I know Ottie appreciates the pedicures!



The nanny is always near, ready to lend a hand (or a tongue).


Go Ducks!!


Early Scent Introduction has completed (this day was duck feathers). The whelping box is getting pretty crowded these days.



Ottie starts to sit up when nursing. This helps to start conditioning their muscles. But it's a free for all at other times.




Puppy yoga has begun, with supervision, of course.


While they are busy, their Puppy De-Sensitization soundtrack runs. This gives them exposure to all sorts of sounds: fireworks, doorbells, traffic, babies and children, storms, etc. They also enjoy TV and radio sounds as well. 


At the end of the day (or throughout the day), when the urge for a nap strikes, puppy narcolepsy kicks in. As they get stronger and more agile, fun times are ahead of them.
