Feed the boy(s and girls) meat!
Today the puppies had their first taste of Real Meat.
The supermarket had chuck steak cheap on Saturday, so that is what I picked up.
I sliced it quite fine and quite small and sat down with them and tried to keep track of who I had fed while they bounced around and over and through.
They loved it.
With every batch of puppies I have a problem with food boredom – they try soaked dog bikkies and love them! For the first two times, then they have a taste and leave it.
They try mince slurry (mince forked down into small bits and stirred into hot water, to make a meaty to taste to train their digestive system to process real meat) and love it! For the first two times, then it is boring…
Do you see the pattern here? 
But once we reach Real Meat! all goes well, they love it constantly – and I must say, they are hysterical to feed, as they do back flips and try to steal each other’s serve
Next week we will toss a chicken wing in amongst them, and watch them drag it around, and tussle over it, and steal it from each other, and get a little bit of meat from it and have lots of fun, until eventually mum comes over and steals it.
Ah, puppies – all the trouble is worth it
