Since it's only 60 degrees outside, we fed the puppies indoors.
To make it a little easier, we split them up into groups.
We had one group of 6, and another group of 3!
Dixie loves her nieces and nephews! She watches them for Zoey, just like Zoey used to do for Annie's litter, when Dixie was little.
And here's the second group...they had a harder time figuring out they could eat the food.
But the first bunch knew immediately, and started to chow down!
Of course, they all got very messy! So we gave each one a bath, blow-dried them, and trimmed their toe nails. As each one was cleaned, we wrapped them in blankets and held them.
These two sleepy boys :)
And this little cutie!
Then we put them back into the whelping box, underneath the heating lamp.
And while they're old enough to start eating food, Annie's litter is a week behind. So while they ate, Zoey nursed Annie's 3 boys. They'll be old enough to start on food next week. But for now, they're very happy to nurse. And Zoey's glad for the break with her puppies, because their little teeth are starting to come in!
