A Private Conversation

A Loving Mom

I can't believe the pups are 4 weeks old today!  Where does the time go!  The pups are really starting to interact with each other and starting to recognize me.  The pea soup consistency food they were eating has now turned into soaked tidbits.  The pups have tiny teeth now but their jaws are not strong enough to crunch puppy food yet.  Between all of them, they are eating about 6 cups of food per day.  Indy, on the other hand, is eating in the neighbourhood of 16 cups of puppy food per day.  And that's not a typo.  One, six.  16 cups of puppy food per day.  That is approximately 6400 calories!  Insane!  I know!  And she hasn't gained a pound!  She is starting the weaning process though.  All those needle teeth can be too much to take.  I feed the pups 4 times per day.  8AM, 2PM, 8PM & 12AM.  By the time they go home, they can be cut down to 3 feedings per day.  They are eating Royal Canin Large Breed Puppy Starter.  The can continue on that until they are 4 months old.

The pup's got brand new collars today!
