Yesterday I introduced the pups to solid food…puppy gruel. I put the bowl down in the box and the big guy lifted his head sniffing the air and walked right over and started licking at it and then started to really suck it down 
The others slowly did the same except for the little girl she just kept licking the edge of the bowl and the big guys face, he’s her bud, but finally I was able to get her to dive in by putting some on my fingers and gradually moving her closer to the bowl. Once she had the idea she had her whole body almost in the bowl. It was quite a sight to watch them, my nephew and I laughed at how some of them literally dove in once they had the taste and others were a little neater about it, and I do mean just a little.

Look at those sweet babies:-) they are so cute trying to stand and eat at the same time!
They are quite amusing and just so loveable!
Adorable! They are getting so big!!
Yes they are, I try not to think of the day they have to leave but its only 5 weeks away now.
What is in puppy gruel? Do they still nurse from Mama or does the gruel replace that?
Sorry for the questions, but we’ve never had a litter.
They are so sweet, I wish I had one. Nothing better than puppy breath.
Sorry Jodi I should have included that in the post but I seem to do things in a rush these days.
Puppy gruel is just puppy food soaked in water until it is mush and I added a little baby (human) rice cereal also. Yes they do still nurse but it will become less frequent as they get more regular meals a day and their teeth of course
I am only doing one meal a day right now until their systems adjust to the change. Usually by about week 4-5 they are usually totally weaned. Riva says it can’t get here quick enough 
They’re doing a great job of learning to eat solid food! I bet you’ve enjoyed every minute of these little guys.
I have Sage and I am not looking forward to the day they have to go to their new homes
Awe they are cute. Wait until they are a little bigger and then I bet they will demolish that food.
Thanx.
LOL on the demolising the food, they ate so much tonight the could barely walk.
Is there anything cuter in this world than puppies? I think not!
You are so right Kristin and nothing sweeter smelling than puppy breath!
I want to sit right in the middle of them. : )
