Happy Labor Day Weekend from F1b Miniature Goldendoodles

Greetings from the Puppies!

We are doing wonderful with potty training and puppy play times, inside and out. Sandy was ready to wean us at six weeks and we had already been eating dry puppy food and drinking plenty of water, so we adjusted quickly.

Our new summer schedule as of six weeks, has looked something like this: 

9 or 10 pm-bedtime; 4 am-potty break; 7 am-outside for potty and poop, eating time and then playtime;

8 or 8:30 am, nap time; 11:00 am- potty, eating and playtime; 11:30 or 12-nap time; 3 or 4 pm-potty and playtime; 5 pm-nap time; 7 or 7:30 pm-potty, eating and playtime and the schedule repeats.

We have made so much progress this week. We started getting ready for potty trips outside last Tuesday. Initially, we only felt comfortable being outside the whelping box for five to ten minutes. By Thursday, we were going outside to go potty, poop and to play. Early on, playtime would only last five minutes and then we were worn out.  Acclimation to being outside and potty training happens quickly especially where our room is located in the house. Since we were born, we have seen and heard the big dogs go outside the door to go potty. So as soon as we see Trina and hear the door, we want to go outside and join them. By today, we were wanting to play outside for a half hour, sleep in our whelping box for a few hours, then outside again for potty. At 8 weeks, our active times will last about 45 minutes to an hour, especially in the morning and sometimes at night, if the family has been gone for a while.

For indoor socialization, Mirabella brings us out to the couch to watch TV with her. Mom leaves the door open to the living room, when we are playing in the dog room, yet we don't venture by ourselves into the living room yet. We will gain confidence in that area within the next week or so.

We are all very friendly, playful and sweet. Love, the puppies.

We still sleep, eat and sleep a lot without a whole lot of action, although we have begun the early stages of puppy play. We also love to snuggle with the blanket and stuffed toys. The tail wags have begun, especially when Momma Sandy comes in the box. Daily rubs, snuggles and hugs by Trina and Mirabella, the 3 year old are a regular routine now as a part of socialization. We heard the lawn mower today in the backyard while we were taking a nap and kept on dozing. We had a wonderful time with puppy pick visits this weekend.
