Puppies plus chicks===cuteness incarnate! We just got a fresh batch of Cochin chicks, and by adding a few puppies, voila! A perfect combination of fluffy and fluffy!
The puppies will be four weeks old this Saturday. Their weight is currently ringing in at 5 pounds, some more, some less.
Today they ate their first water-downed puppy kibble. I decided that since they’d gotten their first little teeth (or should I say little needles, ouch!) they could start eating more than just mama’s milk. And boy! They thought they were in heaven! I had a low, tin dish, thinking it plenty big to feed all of them, but there were a few little naughties who were convinced that they had to be standing in the dish in order to eat.
Enjoy the pics. Goldie’s doing very well, but getting rather restless, taking care of her babies all the time. I know she’s ready to be outside exploring, directing traffic, and bossing the cats around again.
