Puppies are now learning to eat from a dish. This is a HUGE transition for puppies since to nurse off their mother, they have their heads up and suck; to eat from a dish they have to lower their heads and lap. Most Dalmatians learn to do this with absolutely no problems since they are "eating machines". Puppies are being fed from a dish once a day for now and by this weekend it will be twice a day (this is in addition to nursing off momma Holly). For now, I am just putting a few pups at a time at the one dish so that I know each and every one has a chance to lap. Later on, it will be two, then three, dishes so they will all eat at the same time.
