Keeping them cool

We are already having temperatures in the mid and upper 80's so we've been working on ways to keep the puppies cool while their bodies adjust to the heat.  Today they got a pupsicle.
I pressure cook chicken leg quarters, 10# at a time.  This creates a lot of broth and also softens the bone.  Then I put the mixture in containers and freeze.  The blocks weigh about 1 1/2 pounds....
Once they get started, it only takes about 10 minutes for the whole thing to be devoured.
They are growing so fast.  Look at their size compared to Kapu...
Right now their daily diet consists of about 1 1/2 pound of chicken, 3 quarts of goat milk, and 4 pounds of kibble each day.  The amount of food increases a little each day...
Tomorrow is their 1 month birthday; I'm hoping to have time to get their individual pictures and updated weights...
