Eclipse was the last of his litter to open his eyes all the way and his look of disgust is pretty much all of us wrapping up the 2025 dumpster fire

this puppy pile formation is a work of art 🤌 it looks like Hex was trying to crawl over Tarot and got tired halfway through so he just passed out. Nyx & Eclipse touching noses is so cute too!

Eclipse’s eyes are fully open which means the existential crisis stage is upon us. The puppies will have lots of new sensory input and deep thoughts about the meaning of life over the next week or so.

look at them go 💪 they're able to get their legs under them and push their whole body off the ground to take some wobbly steps. This is a two week milestone!
they don't interact with each other much beyond seeking out the puppy pile but soon they'll start engaging with their environment more!

Mama Salem had a special visitor today - her original foster fam! They thought they were pulling a senior dog from the shelter, but a routine wellness exam turned into an episode of Maury when the vet revealed Salem was pregnant (and young) 😂 i took over from there!

They can push up off the ground and take some wobbly steps, and are able to pull over each other with ease. In the coming week their ears will start opening too. So much change and growth happening at camp carter!!
They’ve been getting lots of snuggles and are so used to being handled.

Born on a dark Halloween night, just in time for witching hour, to mama Salem, who enchanted her way into a foster home under the guise of being a senior dog, these four puppies are already magical and destined for greatness.

an easy way to tell if puppies are getting what they need from their mom is simply paying attention to how much they’re crying. Quiet puppies are content puppies & this lil mama is taking amazing care of her babies! They’re clean, have full bellies, and spend a lot of time being snuggled up to her.

a mom’s maternal behavior directly influences puppies’ cognitive development, even in the neonatal period (days 1-16)! the amount of time she spends with them, licks them, directs them, etc shapes the way they manage stress, thermoregulate, & grow. It’s fascinating to watch it all happen!

activated sleep! When puppies twitch in their sleep, they're not dreaming. Their brain is developing rapidly & sending signals to their muscles. they develop muscle tone while sleeping 90% of the day. A lot happens in a puppy's first 2 weeks of life, though it seems like all they do is sleep and eat
