He is beautiful! I know you are having fun loving on this little one. His coloring is gorgeous.

When they are so small I always encourage new owners to free feed or at least make food available 4 times a day. They have a time of it keeping their blood sugar stable, especially if they play hard. I free feed all of mine right on through adulthood. Works well, they have kibble any time they want it, do not overeat, and never have had a blood sugar drop. You might be able to get by with 2 times a day feeding but that is really stretching it for such a little one. Please consider free feeding or adding another feeding time, so he does not go more than 8 hours without eating. I prefer puppies to never have to go more than 6 hours without a feeding, and free feeding is best of all. But thought if you would at least add one more feeding, it would be better than 2. Sorry to try to change your routine, but I have to try.
