Did you know that puppies pick a nipple and tend to want to nurse only on that nipple? And of course, the nipples towards the tail have the most milk, so the puppies that nurse there consistently grow the fastest. Purple boy used to nurse up under mom's front legs, but now he is nursing at the tail end, just like the BIG DOGS. LOL Maybe he is a smart little guy.
So Glad to here that your little guy is doing good. No I didnt know that about the pups stick to one nipple. That is good to know. I will watch that with Lacey Bugs litter.
