Week 2

I brought mom to visit B7 on week 2.

I wanted to establish her scent early.
B7 already recognised me and settle immediately in my lap, but mom is going to be the master of her house, so I wanted B7 to know her early and get used to her being around. Also, my mother wanted to meet the pup I kept talking about.

Here are a few pictures from my second visit. There wasn't much to say except that we all bonded well and I couldn't believe how much he had grown in a week!

When mom had finished her time getting to know him, I took him back and placed him on his back. ( know he's young, and I'll keep doing it when I visit) but putting a dog on their back tests whether they are likely to be dominant or submissive. If the pup sits still, they are very submissive, if they squirm and try to sit up, they are likely a dominant type of dog. Neither is necessarily bad, I just wanted to see what I can expect from him. And as I had anticipated, he lay back quietly. 

At the 2 week mark the pups had just started to open their eyes. The breeder told me their eyes may start opening but they won't be fully able to see until week 4. Right now I am still just a smell, I don't think I'm even a blurry outline yet.

In anticipation that he wouldn't recognise me by sight, I have made sure to wear the same sweater every time I visit B7. That way my scent is consistent and familiar. (I also make sure to cuddle my parents' cats before hand so that he gets used to their scents as well)
