I know I am doing the right thing, the pups are at 13 days and eyes are open, Mom is not making enough milk now to really satisfy them and only 1 of the 3 likes the goat milk enough to even consider it a meal. I am going to do what my mom did when I was a kid, or rather she had me do. The pups are going to get their first taste of meat today. I will be using the same ground beef I eat, raw, when I feel I must have meat and in a hurry. (With fibromyalgia, and my diet history, raw meat is very good for me, I thrive on it). Frankly, I have gotten spoiled with tenderloin lately. Expensive? Yes, but really yummy! I was just wondering when others begin to wean. Do any of you listers have a favorite day that you begin to wean? I wait till all eyes are open and meals are not filling enough, that would be today. For the sake of my family, I am waiting until my husband gets home tonight so he and my boys can experience the first meat. It is always a special time with puppies, for me at least. But I was just wondering when the rest of you like to start meat. Sheila Sheila of Miami Mernydex GSD's Loving Obedience Dog Training __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
