Puppies - 5 Weeks Old

I couldn't resist taking outside pictures in the warm "spring" sunshine this afternoon.  The puppies got their first taste of being outside, but I kept it very short in order to keep them from being chilled.
They are now eating Purina puppy chow softened with milk.  Over the next weeks, we will decrease the amount of milk until they are eating dry food when they are ready to go home at 8 weeks old.  Below are some pictures of meal time.

All of our puppies have now met their new families, and we are excited about each family that has chosen to welcome one of our puppies into their home.  To our new puppy families, I thought you may enjoy this blog about puppy shopping from our past litter.  Much of the information remains the same, except instead of a toy your puppy will come with a small blanket to cuddle in on the way home.
