The puppies are eating all their puppy food and are quite satisfied, but they still want to nurse when they get the chance. Mama has other ideas and is still much quicker than them. They do attach at times but not for very long. They are persistent.
Sadie is a modern mama and a multi tasking wiz! She feeds, cleans and plays all at the same time!
The pups are starting to each solid food fairly well. There is even a minimal amount of standing in their food as they eat. Cooper definitely likes this food more than Chase and Axel do. Chase would opt for Sadie to feed him!

Well, we have news. Barrett (his name will most likely change) has found his forever home. He will be joining Phyllis, Doug and Sadie (mini golden doodle); so, my Sadie will get to see one of her pups grow up. How exciting. Chase and Axel are awaiting to find their forever homes.
Today, they have all started to cut their first puppy teeth. Their poor
little mouths must be sore. This will start the next phase for them where food isn’t too long in the future and mama will start to ween them as they have another food source and nursing becomes somewhat painful with those very sharp puppy teeth.
Also, as we start to see more of their eyes, it appears that Axel may have blue eyes. They should be quite striking in the next couple of weeks.
Here’s a little video so you and see them playing just before they fell into an all familiar pile of puppy cuteness.
Ultimate cuteness is puppies learning to play.
The puppies are really doing well walking and even crawling over mama.
