Three weeks old today!

The pups are three weeks old, and are definitely starting to develop puppy skills! They all have their eyes open and are walking, climbing and yelping more!

Sadie seems to be encouraging all this development through her natural instinct. This video clip seems to show that Sadie is encouraging the pups to stand and reach for supper...she keeps them at bay until she is finally ready!!



When Sadie was finally ready, she and the pups settled in for dinner! Again it looks like nature is guiding Sadie in much that she does. Notice in the video below how she keeps her front feet bent, which helps her keep a few "gaps" under her chest, allowing pups from behind to find their food!! You can see in the video clip how each pup is getting stronger....definitely needed in fighting for food!!

Looks like you need to # those pups, divide the box in 2 sections and then start feeding them in shifts.
They are getting large enough to smash each other as they stand on top and try to feed !!

A good mom, for sure
