Turn In Day 1/12/10

The day has finally arrived to turn the 7 puppies in to Leader Dog. They all got new collars and we had a photograph session. This is one of my favorite people, Nancy holding Mr. Purple Collar. If you got this puppy, please contact me!

Water

When water is put down, the little puppies are eager to lap it up. Sometimes the bowl gets refilled 2 or 3 times.

Watch them eat!

As a Leader Dog Mom, my job is pretty much over when the pups start to eat on their own. Now Gary and Paula take over the biggest part of the work and I have the pleasure to just watch. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes they let me eat little bits of puppy food leftovers.

Solid Food

The puppies are about 5 weeks old now. They eat solid food 4 times per day.
By the time they go to Leader Dogs, they will each stay at their own dish and not usually "bowl hop" to their siblings food! I'ts amazing what a little puppy can learn.

Eating at 4 weeks

We are just over 4 weeks old and eating soft "puppy gruel".

Paula's been busy

Paula's been too busy to type for me since the puppies were about 3 weeks old, but she promises she will do the typing for me later on in the week..... stay tuned I have a lot of news to tell you. Wags & Kisses, Zyla
