Five Weeks Old

girls with spots on the hip and elbow

Its hard to believe that the puppies are five weeks old already! They have grown so much in the past few weeks and are starting to become much more active and oh so fun to play with. They do still love to sit on our laps to cuddle and give kisses, although they are starting to chew on everything, including pant legs, shoes and fingers. They do respond well to a light snap on the nose and a stern "no" but they are still very much puppies. They are also learning to use their voices, a few of them have started to figure out that they even have a bark. They have also started to make the best facial expressions and sometimes do the cute head tilt when they hear a new sound or are extra curious about a new thing.

 

 In the last few days we have started taking short trips outside to play in the grass. We go out first thing in the morning and then a few times throughout the day so that they can learn to "go potty" outside. They are starting to venture farther into the yard and seem to enjoy chasing each other and having a new space to explore. The older girls also love to have the extra time to play with their siblings.

 The puppies are getting to the point where they love to play and it is getting a bit harder to take good pictures without them running toward the camera or wanting to climb off the chair to explore. As a bonus here are a few extra pictures of some of the puppies as they aren't cooperating but are still just too cute!
