We now enter what I see as the "Dirty phase" with puppies. This is when they start to eat solids and Mum starts to not be so keen to clean up after them. As they start to get the hang of eating. They can often end up with more on them than in them and as they start to toilet freestyle (they don't need Mum to lick them to stimulate them to pee or poop) they can often end getting poop all over them or over their siblings. So we have to be armed and ready at all times for Poogeddon. This involves toilet rolls in strategic positions easy to hand and wet wipes to clean up any unfortunate pup. So the work starts here, as we strive to keep the pups clean and transition them to learning to toilet outside by six weeks old.

Wow - it is hard enough with one pup in terms of toilet training let alone 11 !
