| Quick Tilly....while the boss is gone, grab your kids and rush to my house! I believe in letting my Yorkie mommies determine when the babies are to be weaned...I start the kids on a gruel at around 4-5 weeks, but kids need their momma, and they are allaowed to nurse until YOU decide they need to slow down! I always trust my mommas to determine when kids need to stop....and they often will just nurse at night, I think it is momma just providing "sucking" time...like a skin kid has a pacifier, your kids like to go to sleep, just sucking.....so I say either demand your boss let you raise YOUR kids and you will let her raise HERs, or come to my house, where I will ceretainly let YOU decide when it is time to wean....that is why you would be allowed to keep your kids at your side until they are 12-14 weeks old! |

| hi i waited till the boss had had her morning coffee...then i told her about the thread i started....twice...the first time i spoke she went pale and fainted.... something about a talking dog she then agreed to let me feed the puppies......saying something about teething, i jumped in and was lifted off of the ground lol. and then the last pup attached herself, turns out she has all her teeth and a good grip, i'm not sure if i screamed then jumped (or jumped then screamed) but either way i left the pen very fast... my boss giggled a bit then gave me a hug. we had a chat with the little pup, i then tried feeding again while the boss hugged the little biter |
