Everything went well with the whelping. Hazel has great instints and is very attentive. The puppies mostly eat and sleep.
Early Neurological Stimulation has begun. Each puppy gains about 2oz per day. There is not a lot of variation in this litter so far - seven reds of similar size.
A few of the puppies have started to open their eyes. We perform Early Neurological Stimulation everyday. Hazel is keeping all the puppies fat and happy.
All eyes are open and the pups are getting around on all fours. Their personalities are starting to come through as they interact and explore their suroundings with improved eyesight and mobility.
Weaning is well underway. They love goat milk mixed with softend kibble. They are getting more vocal with lots of little barks and growls as they play fight. The puppies have had several interactions with different types of people and the puppies enjoy it.
The puppies are eating mostly softened kibble and canned puppy food. They still nurse a bit when Hazel will hold still. They love to interact with people and play outside and explore.
The pups are totally weaned. They play hard and then sleep hard. They are learning new things everyday such as, going up and down stairs.
