Martian & Acetylene,

Thanks for the quick replies. It sounds as though I am on the same page as both of you. I bought a tug rope for the pups the first day, and they like to play tug-of-war with me (I make sure I win, alpha-dog style) and chew on it. So far, I have not been able to get a tug-of-war going between them, which I think would be hilarious to see.

The bone question was asked because my in-laws wanted to get them a bone each from the butcher. Perhaps I'll suggest they hold off. The pups have chew toys and rawhide bones to gnaw on for now.

I'll try the method of mixing the 2 brands of dog food until they are weened off of the Purina. The pet food thread was helpful, but I feel I still need to do more research and contemplation to find the best food plan. I need a good balance between the pups health and my wallet.

I'm out of good questions for now, but I'll be back soon.
