Today I mixed puppy food for the babies and set it down for them to eat. I’d given them a little yesterday, and they all seemed to like it, and this morning I gave it to them again. They really do love it. The funny thing is, that at 4 weeks of age, absolutely none of the puppies had trouble figuring out what to do to get the food into their mouths.
The last litter of puppies all had to be taught and it was a long process. None of them really did like it, but eventually they learned to eat it and go on to normal puppy food.
But these pups know what they are here to do, and that is eat!
I really enjoy watching them, but then after dinner tonight, as I sat watching them eat, it hit me. They are growing up. They are getting to be proper little dogs and before I know it they will be weaned from Greta and almost ready to start their new lives. The time is flying by!
So here is a little video of the crew eating their food this morning!
Guten Appetit!!

Can’t they stay little just a little bit longer? Love YOU, Mel
I gotta tell ya — it does not surprise me one bit that those CHUBBY little pups took right to solid food! I have a feeling when you show them the deer skin they’re going to bring home the whole deer!
It will be tough to let them go!
They are so funny walking around getting to their food. They probably will sleep a little longer at night now. I know my kids slept better after they started cereal 🙂
How funny to see them eating ! these mini doggies !
