Shelley with the puppies

How are they doing?

GREAT!!

The 4 that made it are doing AWESOME! The first 2 days I'd have to wake them to get them to eat from momma. Day 3 they were going 3-3.5 hours in between feedings. If I slept through the clock and didn't hear Chloe just because of pure exhasution, when I came down, they were still sleeping. Day's 4 and 5, they have obviously hit a growth spurt and are eating every 2.5-3 hours at the latest. If Chloe gets in the whelping pin, they go straight to her and try to nurse.....even if it hasn't been that long. Chloe still won't poop them herself so I'm having to do that but I'm still so thankful I'm not having to bottle feed. Do I have to poop them after EVERY feeding still at this point? I will admit I only do it 5-6 times in 24 hours. Should I up my anty? What I'm doing seems to suffice........ BOY I'm tired.....I have a few found respect for you breeders! Respect like you wouldn't believe!!! I'm home all week by myslef while my husband drives a truck. We have 3 boys ages....ages 8, 5, and 8 months......and I just added a huge FULL time responsibility to myself. When I say my hands are full, I mean they are full. So worth it though! I love em all!!
