| 8 Week Old little girl We just got an 8 wk old girl - Mad-ee!!! My first baby is Mugzy, but he's 4 years old and I hardly remember his puppyhood days. Any tips or suggestions from any of you old-timers out there? |

| Welcome to YT and congratulations on your new daughter! Just make sure she eats every three hours during the day and maybe every four hours during the night. It's like having a skin baby.........they need frequent meals. I cook up turkey and steak for Jilli Ann and then mix a little veggie mix (I make up to freeze) in it. I give her scrambled or boiled eggs, a little cheese, a little peanut butter, (all natural you have to keep in the ref.) a little sardine, apples, yogurt and I make their liver treats. Jilli Ann is now 17 weeks and doing excellent. I feed her three times a day and the fourth feeding is put in her expen right before we go to bed so she will have it when she's hungry. Sometimes she eats it right then, so when that happens, I get up at 5 to feed her again. Hope to see pictures of your baby girl.

| Thank you...WOW! I had forgotten that they are just like a newborn. I didn't reply yesterday - I pretty much had no sleep , but really caught up on my rest last nite - she did much better, and I'm gonna try to keep with that every 3hr day schedule. |
