Visitors!

The puppies are four weeks old today and they had visitors!  Margaret McKulsky, Shari King and Lynda Moore came to meet the babies.  We had a great visit, and the kids put on quite a show for the girls.  Especially Bella, who decided she had an awful lot to say.  I've never heard her be so vocal!  Peanut gave Shari a kiss the moment she picked him up.  Even though we had an idea ahead of time of which puppies Shari and Margaret were interested in, it was almost as though the puppies had figured it out first.  Bella picked Margaret and Peanut picked Shari.  It was a beautiful thing!  The other puppies had fun too, and everyone got lots of cuddles and loving.  The visit was really good for the puppies, who really seemed to show off and be at their best.  Here are some individual photos of the puppies.  You can really see how they have changed in the last week.  Also, I finally changed Fina's name.  It is now Regan.  It fits her a lot better.  She really is quite a little lady of a puppy.

The puppies started eating regular food this week.  It all started when Peanut got into Silvi's food.  He seemed to like it so much, I let them all have some.  They are still nursing, but they get several meals a day of puppy food as well.  I am feeding them the same Honest Kitchen food that Silvi is on, only I run it thru the food processor to grind it up even finer.  Not that they need it ground up.  They have teeth, much to Silvi's dislike!  Here is a picture of one of their first meals earlier this week.  This was taken early in the meal.  They do not stay this neat and tidy for long!  Clockwise from lower left to upper right are Big Bertha, Regan, Padre, Bella and Peanut.
