"Full Meal Deal"

I was playing with the puppies yesterday and discovered that their teeth are coming in- so I introduced them to "real" food. And let me tell you - they dove right in! After soaking puppy food for a few hours, I puree it in the blender and presto- puppy soup! The first time they eat is like no other. There is no doubt that they LOVE the food, it's just that they aren't really sure how to approach it. They are all eager to start in, but once the food around the edges is gone, they don't really know how to get to the middle. Some back-up in hopes they will find it, others decide that their neighbor has enough on their head and legs and help them out by licking it off . But it's the the very brave that jump, head first, onto the pan and head for the middle. Whatever the method, when it's all over, every puppy is covered- head to toe- nose to tail in puppy soup!

Then comes Ryder's favorite part- the clean up. She is very thorough, getting in all the nooks and crannies. Once clean up is over, everyone tops off with mom's milk, and then it's sweet dreams for the lot of them. Enjoy the footage-

So cute! I saw the picture of the momma with all the pups, looking like they were looking for a snack. That gave me anxieties! Luckily we humans don't have litters. Usually. :)
What a sweet job you have.
