I limit Liddy's interactions with the puppies now, I am trying to get her teets up, and nursing does not help. They are 5 weeks and can go without. But once a day they get all they want. Once they are done nursing, she is beginning to play with them. She puts their heads into her mouth and pushes them down so they know she is the boss. She loves to be with them just to interact. Kit is getting to be good with them too. He does feel the competition from Bucko, but he mostly wants to play with the girls. He is learning to be very gentle and with guidence is going to be a good uncle dog. Dexter on the other hand is more a child's dog than a puppy's dog. He will never be the best with babbies, but he was not brought up around them. It is a lot of work but it is nice to have a united pack. sheila Sheila of Miami Mernydex GSD's Loving Obedience Dog Training --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
