Paper Training and First Mush Feeding

At 3 weeks exactly, I started to paper train the pups. I have added an extension on to their crate so they have a potty area. So far the paper training has been successful. Hopefully this will make it easier for them when they get to their new homes. I honestly didn't think it would work this early but I have proof it does!
It's not always this clean! I just replaced the papers and someone decided to make a mess.  Here is our purple little girl making a guest appearance in the potty area. 

Yesterday the pups had their first mush feeding at 3.5 weeks. It was a little messy but not as much as I had anticipated. The puppies showed more interest in licking it off each other or my finger than they did eating out of their dish. I think I'll hold off on the next feeding until their 1 month birthday.

They all took a nice little nap after their feeding.

They are all growing so quickly!
