Litter and program updates
Jeff & Michelle B.
Litter update on 14 Aug. •…The puppies have quadrupled their birth weights and are beginning to explore their environment and interact with each other giving glimpses into the playful little beings you’ll soon get to meet. They’re beginning to find their silly voices practicing their barks and growls when playing together. It’s so darn cute! Today we doubled their physical environment space, and they are all so excited to stretch out and romp around. From now until the puppies go home, we will introduce a new element each day to their environment that will challenge them to become empowered puppies, expanding their world and encouraging their independence and self-esteem. Fun times are ahead! Watch for videos or pictures that will be posted to our Facebook and Instagram pages.
