Puppies Meet the Broom!
The kids are five weeks old now and enjoying time spent outside their pen. Today, as part of the “Puppy Culture” protocol, they are meeting a very foreign object…the broom!
None of them even skipped a beat! LOL

Note: I’ll identify the pups tomorrow. This much took me all day! LOL
If you click on the photos you will get the blow-up version.
Puppy Pen Gets Remodeled
Once the puppies gain confidence in their surroundings it’s time to change it out. Not too much…but just enough to challenge their little brains.
So I added some arial objects…plastic chains dangling in several places.
I also added some different toys. And I moved the direction of their pen.
I am so excited how they have taken to pottying in the litter trays!
Beyond the Puppy Pen!
Some familiar things…some not so familiar. This all builds confidence.
They did great!!
Milk Bar Closes in 10 Days!
Our puppies started on solid food today! They LOVED it!!
They will still nurse but I gradually cut back Artemis’s food so her supply dwindles slowly. Just like people, you don’t want to stop “Cold Turkey”!
I give them Royal Canin puppy food that has soaked in water. Then I run it thru my mini-food processor.
You might also notice the baking pans filled with pine pellets. This is the first step in potty training. They are doing great. We start them at 3 weeks so this is one week into it.
