As long as mom has plenty of milk and is nursing them I would not worry to much about them eating the solid food. It is a slow process. Are the pups walking very well now?

Thanks. I'm sure they'll accept it, the more we give it to them. I have never tried Pedigree before. Why do you like that particular puppy food?

Oh my gosh! They're running (mixed in with lots of tumbling over)! It's so funny!

The little girl will play with absolutely anything. They have toys in there that they love, but she also loves to take one of the pee pads in her mouth and drag it around the pen - ewwwww!!!!

They are doing so well with potty training. Since they were 3 weeks old, every time they would get up from a nap, we would take them from their box and put them on their pee pads (which are on the other side of the pen), kind of like crate training. And, they would always 'go'.

The little boy will sometimes go in their play area, but usually goes to the pads to potty. The girl will stop playing to go potty on the pads.

What smart babies!

Thanks for your help.
