nail day


Today the puppies all had their first nail clipping.  All were very cooperative!  Sure was nice. If you look at the picture of the 2 pups at the bottom, you can see why I had to do nails today--they were getting very long. They are now nice and short. Their dew claw sites all look good.  We are doing the Early Neurological Stimulation exercises (also known as "Developing High Achievers").  We began these exercises on the 3rd day of life and will continue them through day 16.  These exercises were developed and researched by Carman L. Battaglia, PhD.  You can read about these exercises at http://www.boomerangkennels.com/NeuroStim.pdf  or Google Early Stimulation Exercises by Carmen L. Battagliz PhD.  I think  you will the informmation interesting.  If you ware watching the live stream, you will notice the pups are really enjoying the Lectro Kennel.  It is like a heating pad, but  has a solid surface (it is covered with green polar tech.)
