Well as of now they are officially one week old . All are doing well with just a few hiccups in the road. We are now feeding every three hours and are changing to a goat's milk formula that contains more calories .I learned that you must burp a bottle fed newborn puppy . I have also learned that most of what you would do for a newborn human, you can do for a newborn puppy. Their weight has jumped to 1 lb 5 oz ,and the little guy has grown from 5 oz to 8 1/2 oz as of this morning They have their own personality's and I love them all!! I on the other hand have become a hermit and have not left my home in 14 day's <VBG> I am just not ready to let anyone else care for the babies just yet Oh Yea one other thing I have learned!!! "Tango" wakes up the babies and cleans them partly because she is a good mom but the main reason is because she wants to jump into my bed! while I am feeding <VBG> Thanks to all who keep inquiring Sharon Sharon & Stuart Birch Edale German Shepherds http://www.edalegsd.com 780 662 4843 ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
