Week 1

In the first week of life the puppies spend their days eating and resting. Their eyes and ears are still closed. When puppies are born they cannot see or hear, so they rely on their sense of smell to find their Momma and her milk.

Week 2

This second week of life brings great changes for the puppies. Their ears and eyes, sealed since birth, begin to open, or will open soon. This gives them a new sense of their world. They learn what their mother and other dogs look and sound like, and they begin to expand their own vocabulary from grunts and mews to yelps, whines and barks. 

Week 3

In week 3 the puppies are rapidly changing in their physical and sensory development. They are beginning to be less dependent on their momma and learning more about their environment. They are starting to be able to control their need to potty and begin moving away from where they sleep to eliminate.

Week 4

The puppies are starting to become more social and to interact more with each other. They are starting to form attachments.  Maeve's milk production has begun  to slow down and she has started to wean the puppies from nursing, and the puppies have been introduced to other food.​ ​
