The puppies are so hungry and demanding that poor Renee is getting tired of their antics, so we decided to start teaching them about solids today. This afternoon, after Renee had been away from the puppies for a while, I offered some messy puppy sludge for them to try. It went remarkably well. The puppies didn't eat a ton, but they all gave it a try and seemed to enjoy it well enough. Once they were done I took them inside again and had Renee settle so they could all have a nice drink.
From now on we will be offering the puppies a bit of food at least 3 times a day. When they start eating more seriously we will develop a more regulated feeding schedule, but for now it's going to be a take it or leave it offering. I don't think it will be long before they are running for the food bowls when they arrive.
Here are some photos of the puppies meeting solid food for the first time.
Yummy Yummy real food!
