Time has absolutely flown by with this litter. It’s hard to believe that in just one more week the babies will be heading in for their crops and then getting ready to head off to their new homes shortly after. I’m a few days behind on this update thanks to all the holiday craziness, but the puppies are now officially 6 weeks old and growing like weeds. They’ve slowed down just a little now that the all you can eat milk bar isn’t open 24/7 anymore, but they are still full of personality and energy.
We’ve continued exposing the puppies to all kinds of new sounds, sights, textures, and experiences, and everyone has been handling the changes wonderfully. They are confidently using the doggy door now, crate training has officially started, and this week we’ll begin doing more individual one on one time with each puppy.
Aries (red collar) continues to be the little firecracker of the litter. She is constantly on the move until she finally crashes wherever she happens to land. One minute she’s giving endless kisses and the next she’s turning into a tiny velociraptor looking for trouble. She’s probably still the most outgoing puppy overall, although honestly the whole litter is pretty close in confidence. Aries is definitely the kind of girl that jumps in first and figures things out as she goes. She currently weighs 13lb 5oz.
Icarus (orange collar) has started showing more of his sweet and affectionate side lately, though he still absolutely loves a good wrestling match. Him and Aries have become quite the team when it comes to sneaking behind me and grabbing onto my hair or shirt whenever they get the chance. He tends to take a moment to observe new things before fully committing, but once he decides he’s in, he dives in completely. He is currently 13lb 15oz.
Pyra (yellow collar) is still the sweetheart of the litter, but over the last several days she has definitely started showing a little more spice and confidence. She’s really blossomed lately and has been showing some very nice toy and chase drive. There are even moments now where she’s outplaying Aries during their puppy chaos sessions. She has become much more playful and animated as she’s matured over the last couple weeks. Pyra currently weighs 14lb 12oz.
