The pups have graduated to eating puppy food mush. They still want to nurse from mommy during the day when the opportunity presents itself but now I close their gate at night. Skye does not mind at all and is very cooperative about eliminating nighttime feedings. :+) My plan is that Skye returns to her guardian home on June 27th if the weaning goes well.
This week, I will work on changing their potty area. They have done very well but now is the time to step it up a bit and provide them with pellets in a tray now that their poops look more like tiny tootsie rolls. Then they will have short stints in their small pup pen outdoors to adjust to a new setting - weather permitting. The adults will be able to see them through the fencing which provides both stimulation and protection from 'sky' predators like hawks and such.
This week's photo shoot is bringing in the excitement of our nation's celebration of the Fourth of July! It is a holiday we all enjoy. :+)
