Greetings from the puppies!

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.
