New Room
Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at 5:48PM 
As you know, the front livingroom we opened up to give the dogs a larger place to lounge in especially when we are watching tv. The tv room used to be a diningroom that we never used as a diningroom as our kitchen was large enough to fit all of us in it. So one year I decided to give Nathan a tv room. He thought I was nuts but its the most heavily used room by humans and dogs.
We placed french doors up as it was open concept to divide the room and now we are back to one room with the french doors folded back.
The pups can walk up and down the stairs or try to jump. They seem to be fearless. Oh my!

Have to say wow, but do they play rough already! I know it's all a part of growing up but still it caught me off guard, you little rascals!
But did you notice how fast they calmed down. They were very excited when first in the room then things got less rowdy. The pups do play like this to learn at times. It is quite critical that they learn boundaries from their littermates and canine mom vs from another dog later on in life. Doggie communication skills are critical. All pups play like this at this stage. They attempt at communicating to each other. Sometimes a pup listens. Sometimes not. When they don't, they soon learn play ends. It's a critical learning process. I have older dogs that play where they sound like they are going to kill themselves but they aren't. It's actually play growls. They are having fun. We have no bullies in this crew. For that I am thankful. Every now and then you do have one and the littermates and mom have to stop playing with them until they learn being a bully is no fun. So much learning from now till a year old but the most critical is between 6-10 weeks. We assess at 8 weeks as there is so many changes between 6 and 8 weeks that sometimes someone wonder if they are seeing the same dogs - well not really but you get the idea.
