00:00The puppies keep growing and growing.

00:03I think we're going to need a bigger box.

00:16I'm Sharon Osborne and you're watching The Litter.

00:22By week five, the puppies are bigger than ever.

00:27And trying to climb out of their whelping box every chance they get.

00:36They're much more mobile now, getting around as fast as their little legs will carry them.

00:43Still a bit wobbly, but the progress is staggering.

00:50They're also getting more vocal and just starting to get down to the

00:54very important business of play. The old crate just isn't going to cut it anymore.

01:03Guess what Hope? You guys are getting a home makeover.

01:09These lucky pups will have plenty of room to roam in their new whelping box.

01:14I'm sure Hope will really appreciate the extra space too.

01:17Everyone make way for the work crew.

01:25We're just going to tuck the kids away while our construction crew goes to work.

01:35The new whelping box will double the amount of room the kids have to run around.

01:41It should last them until they're ready to get adopted.

01:44Oh, and I know you kids want to help. How are you pups with a hammer?

01:49Don't worry, Leroy. Leave the construction work to the professionals.

01:54Just sit there and be cute. Perfect.

02:03While the crew puts the finishing touches to the new place, we have time for a weigh-in.

02:09We have time for a weigh-in. Let's find out exactly how much bigger these boys have gotten.

02:15To the scales.

02:30Wow, they've packed on plenty of pounds.

02:33They're going to need that extra room. Well done, gentlemen.

02:39Okay, Hope family. Are you guys ready to see your new home?

02:45Move that bus.

03:09Now that's a place you can really grow into.

03:16Looks like everyone loves their new home.

03:19There's still something missing though.

03:22Toys.

03:29For dogs of all breeds, toys are not extras. They are essentials.

03:34Chewing on toys helps dogs relieve stress and boredom.

03:41Toys also help them learn what they are and aren't allowed to chew on.

03:47And they're a must for teething puppies.

03:51Playthings of various textures and firmness help ease the difficult stages of teething discomfort.

04:05Mix it up. See what toys your dog likes best.

04:09Also, it's really cute.

04:15This is way more fun than chewing on mum. Hope agrees.

04:20No, Hope. Chew your toys, not your babies.

04:25No, that's Monroe. I know he looks like a toy.

04:34Puppies love playing with their new toys.

04:37What they don't realize is how much they're learning in the process.

04:44As pack animals, dogs want to know their place in the pecking order.

04:50Playtime is when they start to figure out who's top dog and who's less dominant.

05:00The toys are great for practicing on.

05:05Take down three points.

05:11Through the process of pinning, biting, escaping and reversing the roles,

05:16the puppies also learn how rough they can play with each other.

05:20They find out how hard they can bite before their playmate decides, I'm out of here.

05:27So if a chomp-happy puppy wants to keep playing, he knows he's going to have to ease up a bit.

05:34That's better.

05:37Playing is also a bonding experience.

05:44The puppies discover a level of roughhousing that's comfortable, fun and non-threatening.

05:51They carry this experience with them throughout their lives.

05:56See, playing isn't just all fun and games.

06:00Sweet dreams, you kids.

06:01Glad you love the added space in your new toys and are growing up so healthy and strong.

06:09Whoops, one more thing.

06:12Hope's belly rub.

06:16Good girl, Hope.

06:19Have you adopted from a shelter?

06:22Please share your stories in the comments section.

06:29Next time on The Litter.

06:32The little tyke's puppy personalities really start to shine through.
