Six weeks is such a neat time to observe puppies...they are so perky, playful and full of mischief! They respond so quickly to the whistle and its so cute to see the eight little gaffers running in a little herd to get to the feeding dish!! They are finding that life is okay without mama being there all the time and are nearly weaned. A happy, bouncy little group, enjoying the Koocanusa sunshine.
Definitely the WOW factor!! These puppies are certainly Show Stoppers and such cuddle bugs. They do enjoy the outdoors even in this intense heat. Early in the morning they are racing around the yard, but 11 am they decide its time to seek the shade for a snooze. They are becoming quite independent but still love that Mama is just a squeak away.
In just one more month these River pups will be on their way to a brand new chapter in their lives. Their new family members are so excited and can't wait for allocation day...well, time passes quickly and it will be here before we know it. The days here at Koocanusa are very very hot, so these little ones go out for just short periods at a time and for the rest of the day they visit me in the kitchen. They do love to romp on the grass in the cool of the early evening though. Such adorables and so sweet!
These adorable puppies live in the kitchen and are getting used to different sounds and smells. They are very alert already and sometimes even bark at a new sound. They aren't great about using the litter yet, but in time they will get the hang of it. Even tho they are getting puppy food, they prefer mama milk and lots of cuddles. What a little brood of sweethearts!
2 weeks has slipped by already and these River puppies are doing awesome. River is a wonderful first time mom and loves her family, even tho they are quite demanding of her time!! They are hearing quite well now but are just starting to open their eyes. Next week they will be on the move and eating solids. Lots happening here at Koocanusa!
