09/27/15 Halloween Pupdate

The Halloween pups are growing like weeds!

 They are still nursing some, but also starting to eat a lot more solid food.  We're beginning to introduce a rotation of diets, to acclimate their digestive tracts to different protein, fat and carb. sources.  We've found that this helps them later in life to be able to handle different foods.

They've officially graduated completely out of their puppy pools and into their whelping kennels at both work and home.  This group adjusted really well, and are getting ready to explore the next step - our living room and Jen's training studio.

They've already become much more active and awake for longer periods of time.  We've caught a couple of great action shots over the last few days.  They are beginning to really chew on each other and wrestle around, and are starting to notice and play with toys!

Enjoy:
