Update - almost 4 weeks old

As the puppies get bigger it takes more time to take care of them and I get less time to take photos even though they are stinkin cute and even less time to blog. I have some new video and photos today though. They are learning to jump, run and play fight with each other.

 First an update. The puppies now have teeth and have been drinking formula a few times a day for the past three days. This morning I dismantled the whelping box and set up the small crate and pen. We started using the pool to feed the horde and added soaked puppy food to create a mash. Let me just say they LOVE it! 



The downside for Morgan and I are they now are peep'n and poop'n on their own which means we are doing a LOT more clean up. We are trying to teach them to use the paper and sometimes I think they are getting it and then not so much.

We are not going to fit in here for long!
 This is the small crate, I don't want to give them too much room to discourage peep'n in the crate.
