Feed 'em up regular and they get bigger!

The Anatolian Shepherd puppies are getting bigger! They are weaned from their mom and have been surprising us--in the most delightful fashion--that they are smart. Probably smarter than we are!

We feed them outside in their area. Before the food is put down, however, they all must sit. And they DO! We are beginning to expose them to the chickens and recently acquired Rouen ducks and Toulouse geese. They run their parents ragged and have gotten head-butted by the sheep, learning that it means "back off Jack!"

One of the males is going to be heading to his new home around the beginning of October. His name will be Duke and he'll be living on a farm and watching over feathered critters. We will be keeping a brother and sister, leaving two for sale that were previously going to go to my brother-in-law.
