We brought lil Jazzie into our home a lil after Thanksgiving, she spent the first 6 months or a bit longer in a puppy mill only to be sprung by a lady who wanted to use her for nothing more than breeding :-( When Jazzie wouldn't produce pups, the lady didn't want her anymore and that's how she came into our hearts and home. It took quite a while to get her to eat right, but, she got there and has has went from 3 pounds to 4 pounds 14 ounces I think it was since we've had her. For a while, she'd only eat if I stayed right there with her. She was eating the same times I fed Maggy and was doing wonderful, but within the past 4 days, my hubby (trying to help) has her all messed up. He was off work the past 4 days, and since I haven't been getting much sleep, he'd get up at 3 in the AM and feed the girls at 5 AM. I told him I appreciated him trying to help, but I don't feed the girls until 7 in the AM. He said he knew but Mags was whining and wanted her food, so he fed them cause he didn't want them to wake me up. I went over and over this with him and told him NOT to do that, but, he didn't listen. Now, Jazzie's back to not wanting to eat right again, she'll only eat a lil of her food and then I have to hand feed her more and stay right there with her :-( On a good note though, Jazzie had never played with Mags since she's been here with us, but 2 days ago as I was sitting here at the computer, I heard them behind me on top of the kennels (I have a blanket laid over the kennels with a bed on top) and I turned around to see what they were doing, andddddd, they were PLAYING!!!!
I was so happy!! I video taped a lil bit of it. I was starting to wonder if Jazzie would ever play, or if she even knew how, she's 1 1/2 years old. I don't even think she knew what a toy was when she came to us. I just about cried when I seen them playing. Now, off to look for the duct tape so when the weekend gets here, I can tape the hubbies hands together so he can't get the girls off schedual again, lol.
