The puppies are growing like crazy!

See the "yuck" that the puppies are laying in? NO, I would never let them lay in filth, it is PUPPY FOOD! That is right! They started on puppy food just shy of 3 weeks.  (Vet approved, of course!) Mama is still doing an amazing job, but she is naturally weaning them.  At 3 to 4 weeks, it is perfectly natural for the mother to do this. How? She starts by standing up and walking away from a puppy that is nursing and they also regurgitate their food (THAT was awesome to come home to!).  However, she does allow them to nurse a few times a day and they are all very healthy.  When I give them the food, they gobble it up and then pass out! Some of them even moan in their sleep. Fat and happy.  Another milestone this week was paper training. Yes, it is true. I have paper trained all the puppies. You're welcome! They have had a few accidents, but overall, they are some smart pups!

AND.... they puppies got REAL collars. No more ribbon.  I will be posting individual pics soon. They are already asleep tonight.
