Introducing food to the puppies...

IMG_5128

Yesterday and today I began to offer the puppies an alternative to mommy's milk. To wean the puppies, I offer them food and if they eat it that's fine. If not they can still have mommy at any time. Once they have teeth Tama will wean them on her own, so it's good to get a head start on that. Tama's already spending time away from the puppies. If it's like the last two litters, by 5-6 weeks she wouldn't let them near her with those sharp little puppy teeth.

On my first introduction of the food, Edge and Avalanche dove right in and began eating. Edge made a good dent in finishing the bowl of food. The other puppies weren't quite ready yesterday. Today all of the puppies showed interest in the food and each of them tried a little bit. Clumsy K2 shoved his whole face in the bowl. Totally cute!
