Sheerah's 2021 Puppies ~ 1 Week Old

1/2/2021

2 Comments

 
Happy New Year!  It's a happy time here at Russell Homestead as Sheerah and her litter are doing fabulous at one week old.  I post updates weekly up to seven weeks old for our litters of mini schnauzers - sometimes in the form of a blog post with pictures and sometimes a video clip.  I'm starting things out this time with a video clip that captures puppies twitching in their sleep.  Although researchers are unsure exactly why healthy puppies twitch in their sleep, we do know it is a sign of growth and health.  Researchers think it is an activated sleep pattern that helps muscle tone and brain connections.  Whatever it is, you are about to see how adorable it is on this video clip.  Check back next week for another update!

Blessings and thanks for stopping by!

We remember reading about this phenomenon when you wrote about Fritz's litter doing it. I thought it was adorable, but seeing how adorable it is, has been such a treat, and something I would never have gotten to see. It reminds me a little bit of watching popcorn about to pop! Thank so much for sharing that clip, and for the smiles it brought us :)

Thanks, Laura. Puppy twitching is something I've written about for years, and it's fun to have people get to see it in action. Blessings!
