Day 25

Puppies had their first solid meal yesterday, canned puppy food.  Three of the puppies took to it right away, only the large bi black needed convincing that it was just as good as mommy's milk.  The other three jumped right in. They climbed in the dish, slid around, got food all over their paws and faces and had a great time.  And Spryte loves it because she gets to clean up whats left at the end.  She lays nearby watching them intently, hoping it is her turn soon.  As soon as they are done and I release her she gets right in there gobbling up whats left.

There is even more exploring going on now. I have a little kennel in the room with no door on it and all the puppies have wandered in and out at some point.  The puppies have also crawled onto the blow up balance disc.  It is wobbly and they pull themselves up and then often tumble off the other side.  They are learning about balance and that a little tumble is no big deal. All of them get back on again at some point during their play sessions.

Oh and the large sable girl now has teeth!  Poor Spryte. The others are very close. I can see the teeth pushing up the gums, but they haven't broken through just yet.  But it will happen any day now.

Here are pics from day 25 and a video of the puppies first meal yesterday.
