Meal Al Fresco








Pups are now spending time outside for playing and eating (weather permitting).

Here are photos of the pups after eating, covered in parts of their meal. They will lick each other and Iska will also help clean them, but, sadly, most of the clean-up falls to me.

Pups are well-acquainted with warm water and wash cloth post-meal baths, followed by "dry cycle" of toweling off.

In the video, you can see and hear them enjoying a meal. They are eating ground boiled barley, goat milk, full-fat plain yogurt and raw lean ground sirloin. As the week progressed, they had water-softened, ground kibble (Purina Pro Plan Salmon and Rice) gradually added to the mixture to begin the transition to eating dog food.

All clean and feeling frisky

Here you see Pepper & Salt girl enjoying tug of war with the towel that was used to dry her after her post-meal bath. I was using it to dry one of her sisters and PS girl nabbed the towel. You can see the not dry sister in the box where I put her when I grabbed the camera to record the tug-of-war.




The sister do battle after a second girl is dried off and returned to the box to join PS girl.
