The Irish Litter
pictures from Day 21-27
Suddenly, on Day 21 (3 weeks old) they are interacting with the world around them a lot more than before! This is when they start turning into "real puppies" instead of just having guinea pig look ;-) 3 weeks is considered the start of the critical socialization period.
Teeth are coming in, and they had their first meal (that was not from mom). We have been doing LOTS of laundry at this age because they eliminate on their own now, but aren't quite ready for the litter box yet.
