Fifteen Days Old

Sleeping before they had their milk - notice how clean and dry they are

Again today the puppies got two extra meals of milk and puppy food. They are quickly learning that they really like the milk and quickly drink it all, most of them have not yet started eating the puppy food, which Maddie quickly eats up when they are finished with the milk.


I am still trying to teach manners,
but it appears milk tastes better with feet

The puppies received their first dose of wormer. I usually give the wormer at two, four and six weeks to help prevent the puppies from getting any parasites. They did really well and seemed to like the taste of the yellow liquid.

Thanks to Jenna for helping take pictures of the puppies today. The puppies haven't yet learned how to smile for the camera and the lighting is a bit funny in some of the pictures but they are still pretty cute.

*I marked the puppies with nail polish at birth and have reapplied a few times. This makes it possible to me to know who is who and track their growth. You will see it in some pictures, the girls are marked in pink and the boys in green.

And a big YAWN,
 this is the male with a shoulder spot,
we took a second, better picture
