Eyes wide open

Well, wide open is pushing it, but puppies have their eyes open a little bit as of yesterday. Some of them have eyes open a lot - the two black babes do, the little pepper & salt boy hardly open at all. This means it's weaning time!

This is always fun - how much mess will they make? Will they walk all through the food? Will I end up wearing the vast majority of the food? Will they take to the food as well as the Pharaoh Hound babies did earlier this year?

I'll report of the process in a later blog. We feed Purina Pro Plan, and that is what the Pharaoh babes took to so quickly - was it the food? Was it because they were Pharaoh babes, not Schnauzer babes? We'll see.
