Puppies had their first dog food meal

There will be video later today, but the puppies ate their first puppy mush meal this morning.  The mush consists of about one part Orijen adult dog food to two parts warm water all ground up in the magic bullet.  This is the earliest I've ever fed dog food to a litter and I can't get over how they took to it so easily.  This litter really does seem to be maturing very rapidly.  No sign of teeth as yet.

The weather doesn't look like it's going to be good for putting the puppies outside, but  I'm anxious to see how they react to a totally new environment.  Moving out of the whelping box to the living room didn't seem to phase them at all.  All of these puppies are going to have pretty steady personalities. Right now it seems like Fredith is going to be the instigator while Lauren is going to be the sweet and gentle one.  That can all change though in the next couple of weeks.
