The Pioneer Seven – Week Four in Review: Friday x Max Litter Spring 2013

June 30, 2013

The Pioneer Seven – Week Four in Review: Friday x Max Litter Spring 2013

This week, we entered the Awareness or Identification Period (21-28 days). Because the puppies’ sense of fear has not yet developed, this is the best time to expose them to new things. With full functioning sight and hearing, we exposed them to the below listed elements. We also weaned the puppies onto real food. See this post on how that first afternoon went.

A few blog posts went up this week. Lots of good photos:

  • Announcement regarding our partnership with The Honest Kitchen
  • Photos of puppies playing around after mealtime
  • Photos of Saturday afternoon with Holly and Max

Also, here’s a list of what puppies were audibly exposed to this week:

  • Early morning cartoons, courtesy of the kids
  • Coffee grinder
  • Lawnmower
  • Microwave
  • Piano
  • Vacuum
  • General television
  • Airplanes
  • Chickens
  • Fireworks (we can hear the nightly Disneyland fireworks at our house)
  • Screaming toddlers (ages 2 and 4)
  • Adult conversation

And what they were visually exposed to:

  • The kids
  • Colorful foam blocks
  • Crate
  • Blanket
  • Plush toys
  • Dining room floor
  • Kitchen floor
  • Kitchen country
  • Backyard patio
  • Backyard garden
  • Chickens

New surfaces:

  • Carpet
  • Rubber mats
  • Granite countertop
  • Wood floors
  • Concrete patio
  • Grass
    Dirt
  • Paper towel-lined potty box
  • Litter lined potty box

And, a photo summary:

We finally let the kids pet and play with the puppies. They were beyond thrilled. Mamma Friday stood by just to verify no one took her babies.

“Are you my Daddy?” – YELLOW GIRL and MAX.

(Holly (co-breeder) and Max (puppy papa) were in town this weekend for the Long Beach shows, so they stopped in on Saturday afternoon to look over and play with the puppies. More photos from that afternoon are posted here.)

BLACK BOY and his duckie. Note: he has a very defined cowlick between his eyes that runs in a straight line down to his nose. Super cute, in my opinion.
