Chapter VII: The Fifth Week
(Day 29 - Day 35)February 13, 2007
(Day Thirty Two)Aunt Bridgette was very busy stretching her creative socialization muscles today. She made the puppies tunnels using an old box and she said Coda and Sparkle loved it. Drizzle wasn't sure about it at first but when she pointed out the entrance to it, she walked right through. She and Sparkle liked to play inside it while Coda just liked to walk through it over and over.
Today the piggies switch from 5 to 4 meals a day. We'll see tonight if they keep me up with their hunger squeals :-) We also started the puppy socialization cd's today. It has tracks of different sounds like babies crying, kitchen sounds, thunder, dogs barking, sirens, etc etc. It's very cool and I think it will be very good for the pups. So far, we're keeping it at a very low volume and the pups don't seem to mind it. We also fed them in a different container today -- plastic. We are trying to expose them (ala Rule of 7) different food containers. So far, they've been fed in metal bowls, 3 types of ceramic plates, a cookie sheet, a pie pan, a dinner bowl, the big puppy saucer, and tupperware (oh, and i don't know if it counts but they eat stuff they drop off the towels :-) Auntie B also let them wear their collars that Grandma Karen bought for them today. She said they scratched like they had fleas. We will be putting them on for a few minutes every day so that they get used to it.
Aunt B is doing a great job with the babies and I am very thankful she's here to help out. She also takes GREAT pictures .....
