Maya's Litter - 6 week puppy update

On June 12th, our litter of seven went to see Doc Karma for their more thorough health check up and their puppy shots. All seven check out perfectly and their weights were ranging from 4 lbs 5 oz (Mowgli) to 6 lbs 1 oz (Heavy Chevy). All seven pups behaved very well and were the hit of the waiting room. They were all being handled by everyone and loving every minute of it. Only one pup made any fuss at all when the shots were administered (Harley) and it was just a very quiet little "ouch". Our two big boys already have their little manly parts. Max has one that has dropped and Leo and Harley are still awaiting the arrival of their little dangly things. lol

Eyes: All pups seem to have their dark brown eyes already with the exception of Leonidas. He has the most gorgeous green eyes right now. I will be curious to see if they change in time.

Food: Eating dry kibble and drinking fresh water at will right now.

Leash training - we are still working with the pups to get them used to a leash.

Potty training - we are taking the pups outside upon waking from night or naps. They all seem to do their thing fairly quick. We are still using potty pads inside and we still have the occasional accident on the rugs.

Kennel training - we are placing the pups in their kennels at least once daily. We usually hear crying for about 15 minutes and then they give up and fall asleep.
