Puppy Update - Week 2

Decker and Shasta's puppies continue to thrive. Cindy is quite pleased with their progress and says they are a strong and active bunch.

Here is where they are at developmentally (they turned 2 weeks today):

During Week Two (Days 8-14):

• Eyes should open around days 8-10 (eyes are open on all the pups)
  
• Ears should open around days 13-17
  

Week Three (Days 15-21)

• Teeth begin to erupt
• Puppies stand up and start walking (Cindy says they have already started to do this!)
  
• Begin to lap liquids
• Defecate/urinate without stimulation
• Start becoming aware of environment
• Start playing with littermates
• Develop sense of smell
• Puppies will start to discriminate as to where to relieve themselves

Cindy hopes to have some video clips of the little ones soon.
