Cuteness overload: the puppies’ first meal

These puppies are only two and a half weeks old, a little early to be trying to eat on their own. But with eleven, we thought something to supplement mom would help out. They certainly seem to think that was a good idea! Of course, drinking from a dish is a skill to be learned, a gurgle here, a nose full there, one by one they master it with a lap lap of their tongue, keeping their noses just above water level. Some discovered that licking milk off a brother or sister is so much simpler.
