Today, Maggie and Zoey are eating in separate crates from the others.

Each puppy will be placed in separate crates to become accustom to eating alone.  By the time you receive them, they shouldn't whine for each other.  Maggie and Zoey are still whining in their crates.  After they ate, they were put into a crate together.

Interesting to see they eat much less when they don't have competition and the other three eat more!

The two (2) may be alphas, but they don't like being away from their other siblings.  The three (3) are fine being away from them!

Well, Maggie has separation anxiety.  It has taken at least 30 minutes for her to calm herself down.  This is the second time today she has been separated from the litter to eat.  She has cried herself to sleep.  In the meantime, she had everyone singing at the top of their lungs!  Poor little Maggie, we will get her through this!

All puppies have been exposed to:
1.  Carpet
2.  Paper
3.  Potty Pads
4.  Grass
5.  Kitchen Floor - Only Maggie and Zoey (today)

Maggie and Zoey did great and explored the kitchen floor.  They weren't afraid  of the kitchen floor.  Both were very brave little Cairns!!

Took #1 to love on the sofa tonight.  She didn't know what to think at first, but finally became comfortable at chewed on the chew treat I had for her.  Boy it was a good thing I decided to take her back to the pen.  She hit the pen running to the potty pad and wet for a long time.  This is great - she held it and went to the pad!  I have never seen her miss!
