🐶 Puppy Fact of the Day!
Newborn puppies are born with their eyes and ears closed 👀👂 — they rely completely on touch and smell to find warmth and their mother during the first two weeks of life. Around 10–14 days old, their eyes begin to open, followed shortly by their ears. This is when their little world starts to come alive! 🌎✨
Sleep is also a huge part of their growth — puppies can snooze up to 22 hours a day in these early stages as their brains and bodies rapidly develop. 💤💙
With gentle handling and lots of love (like this cuddle session), they get the safest start possible. 💕
