It's been another week of amazing growth for the puppies. They've learned to stalk, pounce, shake, and chew on toys. Clover, the littlest and sweetest one, has learned to take on the bigger girls. And they've had their first outside adventures. They're still cautious outside, especially when the big dogs try to engage them in some play. They just don't know what to make of that. I'm sure they'll get it in just a few days.
They've also been eating food. First up was some goat's milk, followed by ground turkey mixed in to some of the milk. They moved on to ground turkey with turkey hearts after that.
Tonight I learned that the puppies can definitely handle more. Skittles regurgitated a chunk of her dinner (which was a half chicken) for the puppies. Yes, gross, but also fascinating. I was alerted by an unusual amount of puppy growling as they each claimed their portion of the prize. I intervened just a bit to make sure everyone got a share. Honestly, it was hard for me to not worry about them choking, but they sure acted like they were born to eat this way.
So it's back to Harmony Farms for something a little more substantial to feed the puppies. Probably some chunks instead of ground, and maybe pretty soon onto some cornish game hen or quail so they can get some bone, too.
