10/15/2017 Milk, it does the body goodi posted a cute pic today. Green had a milk mustache. It was most adorable. They pups are growing so fast. Eyes are open. At this point they can start to make out objects and see movement. It was actually a quite day. They fussed very little today. I think they are learning mommas new schedule for them and adjusting. I know we have a lot of new readers so I want to address a couple things. I’m a firm believer in being with the litter all the time. I may run to the store. Or run out for carry out but I’m never gone longer than an hour. Someone is with the pups if I need to be gone longer. See the problem is not just the pups but mom. That’s another reason I’m still sleeping on the sofa beside the box. Mom needs to eat every couple hours. She can’t make it through the night without eating. So if I worked all day, who would feed mom in this 8-10 hours I was gone? Next issue is with eating this often she needs to potty often. Who would let her out during those 8-10 hours? I’m not preaching. I’m just telling you to ask your self is it fair to mom and babies to not have someone there to feed and let them out. Dogs can’t chose things. We choose for them. I would not want 6 screaming mouths all day while I laid there hungry waiting on someone to come home and feed me. All this leads me to why I do what I do. I try to give my moms the best life possible. All my dogs get to live a good life. I believe that’s what makes them be the best mommas they can be.
This week lots of things will happen. We will deworm Monday. And every week until they leave. This is a normal schedule. I’ve never had any test positive in my care for worms. But it’s a standard procedure to deworm them just in case. We will be clipping nails again. Did it once last week but they are sharp again. We will be introducing a potty area in the whelping box. You will see it when we post pictures so you know what it is. This will encourage them to potty in one area. We will be introducing lots of sounds this week too. So stay tuned for updates and pics it will be a big week. Oh and individual pics need edited then I’ll post them. Hopefully tomorrow. Comments are closed.
