You know the best reward was when I came into the room, I would sneak in very quiet and sit by the box..within a few seconds the little noses would start to twitch and they would wake up and start begging for me. The vet said an animal can detect it's mothers scent..my husband could sit by the box and they would stay asleep..he didn't believe they knew my smell. |
That nearly made me cry yorkierose. I need to remember to share the good stuff too. They recognize my voice
They love it when I hold them talk to them right in front of their faces. They can see me good now I believe! I sit next to the playpen when I'm feeding a pup, and the ones left in the playpen come to the end I'm sitting next to and stand on thier hind legs and cry wanting out. I'm trying to make extra time to just sit and hold and play with each one. I think they get bored in there. They are starting to pick and play with each other a little bit and it's so cute
sometimes I will catch them sleeping or laying on their backs and I rub their belly and they love it! They still try thier best to squirm into Bitsy's onesie and they KNOW thier mamma! But I think they are starting to like me
