Marvel spent some time with her puppies today but also came indoors to the office for a while and out to the pasture with all the other dogs for a good run. She wants to go check on the pups, and clean up any leftover food and poop, but otherwise she'd rather be inside. She was good in the crate last night and she goes into it as if it's not a new experience for her. Her indoor manners are pretty good but she is definitely a counter surfer.
I fed the puppies three times today and they quickly devoured all the food each time. I don't really want to go to feeding four times a day so I think I'll just slowly increase the amount I give them on their three meal plan. I picked up a cardboard box at Green Dogs and gave them that as well as new, clean toys this evening. They are easily amused, but variety is nice.

I picked out a heavy weight cardboard box. They are always a hit with puppies.
This small ironing board frame has lasted through several litters of puppies.
They can climb on it, it's an incline, and it's an unusual texture for their feet, all good experiences.
The food dish isn't just for eating.
I overestimated the size of the opening in this box, or underestimated the size of the pups.
They are really good about using the pads now, but I still change the bedding once or twice a day.
Shoestrings are always a favorite with puppies.
Cardboard boxes are great for chewing.
I think we'll have a couple week yet before they can get over this wall.
