Week 2 - 6/9/2026
This week was all about big milestones–napping, gaining weight, and moving! Goldenrod is finding his legs and tries to run, though it usually ends in a tumble. Violet was the first to open her eyes, and by this morning, the whole litter had theirs open. They are doing much more tumbling with each other–it is wonderful to see the very first signs of play.
Our explorers are finding their own styles at the milk bar: Mayapple is fearless with elevation changes and prefers to climb over Ghost from behind, while petite Violet likes the underarm approach, often finding the front nipples before anyone else. Dandelion often nurses upside down, energetically "making biscuits" in the air, and Bluebell is quite the escape artist–she manages to lose her collar almost every day! We removed the pig rails today to see if they notice, and Ghost has finally stopped making dens, which means our floors are finally free of the sandbox–like dirt she was bringing in.
To support their development, we have continued our daily stimulation exercises, including tactile work and postural changes to encourage resiliency...and of course they get lots of love! Next week will be a whole new world with everyone's eyes and ears open and the world at their finger...er...ah...pawtips!
