Shadow Dance Ranch German Shepherd Dogs

Wow, how time flies.  This week has been so full I am late with my posts, so I’ll merge them into one for the whole week.  New this week – we have added a small kiddie pool for the puppies to learn to eliminate away from where they play, eat and sleep.  Some have caught on quickly and others are still trying to figure it out. There is a little cutout on one side so they can get in and out easily.  Next, there are a few toys that roll and make noises. They are learning so much with these new additions, but the biggest change this week is food.  We are weaning the puppies away from their mothers milk, to rice cereal, goats milk and crushed puppy food. Neshamah is very excited about this because the puppies’ teeth are getting sharp and they are biting her when they nurse.  Also she gets to cleanup after the puppies and eat all of the yummy leftovers. It’s all good for everybody.

(Even though my videos are a bit dark and noisy, I am still including them for those that can’t see the puppies in person. I have no idea what that frog type noise is that my camera seems to create when recording.  If any of you savvy photographers know what I can do to eliminate it, please let me know.)

Mike Lynch, my photographer friend, has taken some lovely pictures of the puppies – Are they cute, or what?
