You must pay attention to what mom wants and offer her assistance by feeding the puppies to lessen their demand on her. She will wean the wee ones when she is ready. But do not make her stay with them 24/7...she's getting tired of the tugging and nipping while trying to gain access to the boob. LOL |
That's GREAT info concerning the sharp nails and I have experienced that but never thought to post it! Thanks for bringing that up.
