Chicken Flavoured Puppies / Chicken Stuffed Puppies - recipes here

So, how do you get chicken flavoured puppies?? Well, today's ceremony of the start of weaning gave a good demonstration.  I am afraid I don't have photos, but will try again tomorrow when we will be trying beef flavoured puppies ;)

First, take your chicken breasts and liquidise them until they are very soft. Next, find a large clean tray and pile the chicken onto the tray. Then, having the pups in an enclosed space so that you know which pups have had a go (I used the pupmobile) and sitting on a low stool, take your first puppy, take a small ball of chicken and put it to the puppy's mouth, so that the chicken is smeared a little onto the puppy's mouth.  The puppy will eventually start to lick the chicken.  As they are used to feeding from mum, the trick is to take the fingers down, putting the puppy near the tray, so that they learn that food may be low down. You may need to guide the puppy's face back to the chicken a few times, until they really have the idea. Once the pup is really interested, let the pup go towards the pile and lick at that.  This is when you pick up your next puppy, bearing in mind that your hands are now covered in chicken.  Once this pup is ready to be left to the pile, pick up the first pup and put it back where you wish it to relieve itself - in my case, the paper in the puppy pen. In a few days, they will be put onto the grass for this purpose.  This is repeated until all puppies have had a turn.  Then change all your outer clothing, put it into the washing machine and have a shower.

Repeat a second time that day and you will get....chicken stuffed puppies:

I did discover that a little comb does get a lot of the dried chicken out of their coats, but they don't like it too much.  Well, they should be used to it by the end of weaning if it carries on this way :)
