This past week, I introduced puppy “mush” to help Teddie Kate out with feeding, now that teeth have erupted with vengeance on these little guys. They love it! I’ve also been adding each day “novelty” items (unassuming and gentle) into their whelping box for exposure and awareness. They live in our front living room, so they also hear the daily sounds of a full and busy household.
Curriculum & Care: Today I began the 5 day process of deworming the pups (& mom!) to begin protection against potential parasites and I will continue daily exposure activities with different items such as bubble wrap, stuffed toys/ropes/etc., and even balance boards. I’ll also continue the 10 daily handling exercises and increase their “mush” feedings to 2-3 times a day.
- 10-step handling exercises include:
- 1. Rub ears
- 2. Cover eyes
- 3. Open mouth and run fingers on gums
- 4. Rub belly in circular motions
- 5. Run hand down back
- 6. Run hand and fingers along tail
- 7. Touch all paws
- 8. Tap nails
- 9. Run fingers around next & under collar/ribbon
- 10. Touch their nose
