Week 4

More changes this week for the babies.  We opened up the "potty room" for them.  That is a small section of the whelping box that we put shredded newspaper in them.  The purpose is for them to learn to go potty in an area besides where they live and sleep.  It helps with their house training when they become bigger puppies.  Amazingly they have an instinct to go over there most of the time to do their business.  They also started eating dog food.  We soak the puppy kibble in hot water so that it gets soft.  They picked up on eating solid food with no problems!!  The funny thing is to watch them eat.  They haven't figured out  how to stand outside the bowl to eat...some of them lay across the food all sprawled out to eat.  Here's a little video of one of the recent meal times.
