Just wanted to let you all know that yesterday for Chloe's feedings, I kept the food warm and fed her even slower than I was already. I also added an extra feeding in the afternoon but fed less at each feeding as I think maybe I've been forceing them, especially her, to eat
She sounded much better and no milk came out of her nose at all yesterday and she didn't sound as "wet". If she weren't so rambunctious (sp?) and such a spunky little thing I'd be worried sick, but she is a little whipper snapper
I held her a lot yesterday and last night when my son and I settled down and watch TV, I held her on my lap with Bitsy and she snoozed in my lap. I think Bitsy is getting a little jealous of the affection she sees me giving the pups. I also did the same thing with the little yellow necklaced pup. She's almost as tiny as Chloe and has had a little bit of the same trouble though not near as bad. She is pictured right next to Chloe in one of the pics I posted. I think she is going to have Bitsy's loving and laid back personality and I want to keep her too
They are so cute when they lay on their backs sleeping.....just like Bentley and Bitsy does. Sometimes it looks like they are having dreams but I don't know what in the world they could be dreaming about
They are starting to play more and stay awake more each day!! It's so hard to make sure each one has the same amount of attention! And keeping that playpen clean is a MAJOR chore
We went through over 100 pee pee pads in 2 1/2 days!!! Imagine that! I'm changing the pads constantly and having to clean the pups to make sure they don't have any poo poo on them. My full time job is getting even fuller
It's so funny and entertaining to watch them! They are starting to bite and tug at Bitsy and her bows in her hair
They want to play and I've tried putting some little plastic toys in there but they always end up getting poop on them. Some of them are even trying and doing a good job at climbing up the netting on the sides of the playpen. I dont know how to remedy that delimma and am having to keep a constant check!
I keep trying to think of a way to keep them ALL because I cannot imagine letting ANY of them go
But I know it's just not possible. Even if we keep two that will be stretching it. I've already ruled out several people for one reason or another who wants one.
Today is my busy day...bible study at church, riding lessons with my son, and helping out with the pta. PLUS taking care of the pups and squeezing in my YT sessions
Thank you all for your kindest concern and advice! I'll keep you posted about little Chloe. I've been so worried about getting food in her I think I may have been overfeeding her and not feeding her slow enough. I was trying to feed her as much as the other pups so she could catch up on her weight but her stomach is obviously smaller and it's a wonder I didn't drown the poor little thing. You guys are life savers!!
