We’ve introduced the puppies to a lap-able goat milk/dog food “slurry,” incremental steps toward weaning and becoming puppies that will, in just a few more weeks, be eating dog food.

Another distinct change is how rowdy they’re getting with each other.  Play time follows waking up and eating.  They mouth their siblings’ body parts, chase each other around, paw at each other and they’re vocalizing as they romp. Then, one by one, they zonk out, sometimes walking over a sleeping brother or sister before finding their place to sleep.
