Tomorrow will mark seven days of the puppies being in Corally Burmaster's Puppy Head Start program. In the past week, they have adapted to a new living arrangement, spending their days in four areas (their puppy pen for napping and sleeping; their indoor play yard; their outdoor play yard; and our kitchen and surrounding areas). They have grown bigger and stronger, walking, trotting and bounding sturdily; walking up three steps and then down three steps; trying to climb the plastic steps to their slide; maneuvering along an 8" dog walk without falling off; handling unstable surfaces like the teeter totter and tippy board; and much more. They drag scatter rugs from one place to another, try to drag each other, and have no fear of strangers or of the bigger dogs.
