Thank you!
Good afternoon, and welcome from the UK!

I totally agree with Joan - 12 weeks is best if you can manage it!! They really do learn so much from their mothers during those extra, crucial weeks. Thank you for thinking of them, and all their feelings....

By the way - how's weaning going? Look forward to getting to know you Sally + Harry xx
