Mealtime circus

These pups love playtime, attention and food, not necessarily in that order.  Like all previous Jammer pups, they love their chow.  Now that we are individually feeding the pups, the routine goes something like this:

1.  Set up three small plastic dog crates in the kitchen
2.  Call pups to kitchen.  Watch 10 puppies get worked up into a frenzy at the sight of the crates.  If the doors are open, they eagerly run in, hoping there is a bowl of food waiting inside. 
3.  Attempt to slip a bowl of food into the crate and allow only one pup to enter.  A very challenging task these days.
4.  Once 3 pups are happily eating in their individual crates, watch the other pups swarm around the crates and stare longingly inside at the chow.
5.  Retrieve fed pups from crate, being careful to keep track who just finished eating since the littermates will charge in as soon as the door opens.
6.  Push fed pups out the dog door to go do their after mealtime toileting. 
7.  Repeat x 3.  10th pup gets to eat outside the crates.
8.  Go outside and round up the pupsters. 

My dog door is raised approximately 8 inches off the ground in a storm door, and it is easy to close off by simply closing the interior door.  But if left open, Dee has already figured out she can climb back through!
