I don't want to steal your thread but I did want to show you my 6 week old angels. Are yours eating hard food yet?

They truly are either full force or asleep! Bree and Scout are the most energetic. Malcolm is very submissive and Ocean is pretty submissive too although he gets in his energetic moods every once in awhile. Fabian is kinda the lazy one. He likes to be played 'with' and lay around mostly. It always seems like when everyone is active, Fabian is tired and vice versa.

I may go ahead and let them explore the outdoors. I'll ask the vet about the flea issue when I go Thursday. Our pups don't mind the car ride since they've been in the car about 4 times or so now between the vet and our groomer friend. Our groomer is buying Fabian and she has had us come in for free nail clippings, ear trimmings, etc.

And, your pups are very beautiful! I love their thick coats. My new puppy Bree doesn't have much hair yet. Fabian has the thickest hair out of the bunch.

I have been soaking the dry puppy kibble in a little goats milk and water. I am feeling like it's okay to give them some harder food though and was thinking of doing that this week. I don't want to rush them or anything. Bree is the only one so far that seems to not know how to eat the soft kibble yet. She licks them mostly. She's the tiniest one and I worry about her losing weight and not eating well. I have been having to feed her separately and still give her some Rice cereal if I feel she hasn't eaten enough. I'm still so new at this, I'm kinda going on instinct at this point...

I gave them just dry kibble this morning but they're kinda just playing with it. They've got some nice teeth in there and are starting to use them against each other. Stick a small cardboard box in the puppy pen and watch what they do with that. It's mines favorite toy. Yes, they do have very distinct personalities already at only 6 weeks. When I have a litter I spend the bulk of my at home time in the dogroom watching them cause it's just so fun.

I will def try the cardboard box thing. I love watching them too. I am entertained for hours on end.
