The puppies ate their first meal tonight. It consisted of gruel in goat milk. Yummy! Until today, they got all their nutrition by nursing. They were all very interested in eating semi-solid food, particularly Tegan. As you can see, they made a mess, sliming the food all over each other and themselves. After the pups had all they wanted, Delilah gladly cleaned their bowls. The rosebuds washed the gruel down with a bit of mother's milk and then fell fast asleep.
Now that their eyes are open (Willy was last, he opened his eyes yesterday), the puppies are much more mobile and are beginning to explore their surroundings. They aren't playing with each other yet, but that should happen soon. Each day will bring new adventures for them. Tomorrow we will put newpaper in their pen so that they can start learning bathroom manners.
