Soon it will be time to start weaning. The puppies eyes are fully open, they are ambling about, and their food demands will soon outstrip Matha's capacity to produce milk. Plus, when they get teeth, Marthas will not enjoy their nursing. Soon.
About three weeks after whelp we begin to introduce gruel. Gruel is Gerbers rice cereal made with Esbilac. When they tolerate that, we begin to replace the cereal with powdered Eukanuba puppy food.
The puppies are quite active, day AND night. They roll over each other in their quest to go somewhere.

This is Kayla taking a nap on the bear. We think Piper is Martha's favorite. Piper hates to be put on her back. The puppies got their first dose of wormer today. The adult dogs received their monthly Heartgard.
There are obedience and rally matches this weekend at Seelah Kennel, in Adel. Of course, we won't be going. We miss our human and dog friends. We wish them great success. Here's a picture from Jan 2006 of SOME of our poodle friends, at Seelah. Simon is second from the left, and Ripley is fourth from the left, between her white friends, TJ and Sisco.
