koalathebearNutmeg and Smudge are both doing well. They are sleeping through the night - we toilet them before bed and they sleep for about 6-8 hours in their crate. We toilet them first thing in the morning.
They've had a few accidents but are doing really well for such little puppies and when I open the crate - they go running to the door and leap outside to toilet :)
In terms of food, not only are they learning to wait for their food - I am putting the food to the side and teaching them that they must look at me and not the food. Both are doing well and their eyes are so alert and intelligent as they stare at me in the hope that I will let them eat their food.
In terms of socialisation - they have been exposed to dogs, new people, noisy washing machine and dryer, electric mixer, dyson, food processor and other noisy appliances. They will be meeting more people and dogs this weekend.
