First Day for Mush and Pedicures

Here they are. You can't even see their dish. It does, however, give a great view of their coloring. So, from 1 o'clock and going around the clock, we have: Arthur, Ariel, Abby, Aloha, Alfi, Albert, Annie and Alvin.

Puppies had their first non-Maxi meal today. I waited a week longer than I usually do because Maxi seems to be keeping her weight on and my breeder friends believe it gives the puppies a better start. But, were they ever ready for mushy kibble today! They just scarfed it down. I hadn't even warmed it up or mixed it with goat's milk.

They also got their first pedicure. Their tiny nails are so sharp, I just know it's painful for Maxi when they nurse. I'm sure she will be very grateful. I'll give them a weekly pedicure now so that by the time they go to their new homes they will be very accustomed to the weird feeling procedure.

Finally, they all got a dose of Nemex-2, which is for routine de-worming. They'll all have a fecal exam when they visit the vet in 2 weeks to confirm that they are clean. Fortunately
