I have placed long low toys and my rice filled little bolsters about in the box. Some areas have blocks of egg crate and some don't so they have some "terrain" to traverse. They are climbing over them. It seems to be helping. They are doing their workouts!

Honestly pups? 2.2 lbs!?! Serious obesity epidemic up in here!

Thanks! We need more pictures as they change every day.

We got past the swimmer puppy scare and Dasher's chest is normal now. Wish I had known more about the development of the syndrome in order to check for it every day! Early intervention can save trouble and even the life of the pup!

They grow fast! At just a couple of days over three weeks, they were licking mum's empty bowl. I started feeding with watered down starter canned food. It was a hit! Little bitty teeth are in! Mum is still nursing them, esp at night. I don't want to rush weaning, but Shim is doing a good job in lessening her trips into the box.

Getting cute growling, barking and trying to play though walking not all coordinated. They played with tiny ball cat toys. Those looked cute in baby puppy mouths! Yesterday they walked over crinkly foil on the the floor. I found some bubble wrap to use also. Found a fun cat tunnel that has crinkly filling.They will be running through that for food soon!

Today we plan to expand their area so they can begin to learn to potty in a place. Need to get some wood chips for the potty area, I guess.
