The puppies are growing every day. All of their eyes are open and their ears are beginning to open and become so alert to sounds that I make. They get more adorable every day. Reserve yours today!!
Yesterday marked 1 week since the birth of the puppies. I cant believe how much they have grown and changed in just one week. As of yesterday they are starting to lift their bodies up a little when they move and trying to walk a little bit to get to mom-not quite strong enough. They talk and growl and bark in their sleep all the time- (Especially the runt in the morning when I am trying to sleep). Its the funniest thing. I wonder what they are dreaming about that needs growling. - videos to come of it because its the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Here are some fun facts about puppy growth and development through 8 weeks:
Puppies are born with their eyes and ears closed- they can only smell and feel
Their eyes are closed when they are born and will normally open between 8 and 13 days old(usually more towards the 13 days)-They aren't fully developed even by this time but they are developed enough to be able to not be secluded from the world anymore.
The ear canals are also closed when they are born but will begin to open just shortly after the eyes have- between 13 and 18 days. --They are almost fully functioning and very acute once they open.
The cant walk in the first few days- just scoot. They should be walking with a hint of a stumble by three weeks- we are well on our way there. OH DEAR!! Craziness will be here before I know it.
Such fun times to be had. Look out for some precious moments with the little ones on video this weekend!!
On Thanksgiving afternoon, Maddie gave birth to 7 beautiful Goldendoodles. 5 boys and 2 girls. We have Caramel, Cream, and some in between colors. All with liver(brown) noses- my favorite :) Cant wait to see their personalities develop over the weeks. Contact me to get more information on how to make one of these precious ones part of your family. **Would make a GREAT Christmas Present for any family.**
