They started walking, and toys were interested to their pen. Their pen was made bigger. Grass was also added to the end of the pen, so they can start toilet training (in theory).<\/p>\n<p>The puppies only met one new person this week. That doesn&#8217;t mean that they didn&#8217;t meet a lot of people &#8211; they did! Just they were all (but one) repeats of the week before.<\/p>\n<p>From the 25th of November (puppies at 19 days old) the puppies started to approach people in a happy way.<\/p>\n<p>A waterbowl was introduced to the pen for puppies, but no pups were really interested at this age.<\/p>\n<p>The set-up in this picture was soon changed, as the puppies weren&#8217;t quite strong enough to get up the ramp into the whelping box. The whelping box came out, and so the puppies were left with just a pen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the puppies got up to in their 3rd week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[231,6],"tags":[21,496,20],"class_list":["post-1805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dog-breeding","category-puppies","tag-puppies-2","tag-puppies-2012","tag-puppy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1805"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1805"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2726,"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1805\/revisions\/2726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
