Looks like Puppy is ready to really have a go at solids now. We spent the day at DH's godmother's. First, he kept struggling when I tried breastfeeding him, although he's doing that a lot nowadays especially when there's lots of distraction. Then over lunch, he just kept wriggling. DH offered him a piece of Krackerwheat which he demolished. We then went off to evening mass at The Guardian Angels RC church. We went back to godmother's for dinner, and although I managed to feed Puppy quite substantially (I thought!) prior, he kept wriggling. Godmother kept suggesting we try him with some gorgonzola. I must say that just because someone looks like they want something doesn't mean they should have it or that it is necessarily good for them. Anyway when she finally asked why he wasn't allowed gorgonzola, I finally told her that he probably wasn't old enough to tackle 1) Mould on cheese; 2) Salt in cheese. She seemed to accept that explanation well enough because she never asked about gorgonzola after that. As a peace offering, I decided to vaguely wave half an oatcake in front of him, to which he promptly stuck his paw out. Half an oatcake soon became bits of oatcake. I offered the other half and pretty soon that too disappeared. It's rather interesting to see how he was actually crunching on that piece of dry oatcake although he doesn't possess any visible teeth!

21 weeks and 2 days. My puppy is growing up!
