A day of firsts!

Today was a day of a lot of firsts for the puppies.  At just over 4 weeks today was the first time they all got to experience the great outdoors. It was pretty mild this morning so we took them outside to explore for little while. I was surprised at how well they did. They were only out for about 5 minutes, but they didn't whine and whimper like puppies typically do the first time outside.  While the kids were watching the puppies, I switched carpet and added wood chips for the first time.  They are starting to get too big, and wood chips are a lot less maintenance. After that they also received their first solid meal today.   They loved their wet food, and although Remi has been doing a great job of nursing them all it's time to transition to real food.  We took them inside for a while and today was the first time many of them peed inside the house!  As I said they are getting bigger and with that comes all the mess of having 9 puppies running around. We also painted their nails and came up with names for all the puppies today. This way we can identify who is who is this vast see of yellow!   I'll post pictures of all the puppies individually after the kids are in bed tonight!
