Pics of Puppies *Not* Eating

My babies want to stay on the bottle forever. This is attempt number 2 at trying to get them to eat their "mush" (Esbilac mixed with canned puppy food). I always have to try it with them in a box because the mess is unbelievable at the end.

At first it seemed like they would eat. Piper even took a few slurps.

Sebastian started screaming and crying and looking around for me and the bottle.

Then Piper joined in the screaming and crying.

Then Sebastian decided to actually take a few slurps too...

...And decided he wanted the bottle afterall!

I stopped taking pictures at that point because I went to go make them some bottles. When I got back, they had the whole plate of food spread all over the box and themselves. Needless to say, they got their first bath tonight.

Oh heavens! Silly little things. Kind of like how I never want to move away from home, grow up, get a job....do any of that stuff! Who wants to leave the cushy life!

I can imagine their distressed puppy screams are quite shrill and unnerving. That would be hard on me, I know.

The size difference is quite obvious in these pictures!

Now kids, realize you won't be on the bottle forever, but "milk" Aly for all she's worth! Heeheehee!

oh they are getting cuter by the day :D *in love*

WOW sebastian look how much bigger you are than your little sis, and eat up little piper make you grow up big and strong ;)

beautiful pics thanks for sharing :D you are doing a great job

Awwwwwww!!!!

I can't see enough of these little cuties!!!!!!

I just love them--I can just imagine having those 2 little furballs around!!!

Did they like their first bath??

Aly, you're so wonderful in everything you are doing for these babies--they are going to grow up so healthy and strong!!!

Piper, silly girl - you are sitting on your food :eek: it goes into the OTHER end doofus :rolleyes:

What a mess but how cute! I'm sure they'll start to want real food soon. It's great of you to let us see them growing up. I'm glad they've got this good chance in life.

Look at those two! Growing up right before our eyes:D

I'm sure it won't take too much longer before they start eating regular food (hopefully it won't be as messy either;) )

And I can't believe the size difference between them, wow:eek:

Aly they are sooooo cute!! Piper is so incredibly tiny! Or is Sebastian just really big? Oh, what a mess to clean up. Hopefully they’ll start eating their mush soon. I know that’ll be 100 times easier on you!

those puppies are so adorable

They are soo cute!!

I can't get enough of them!!

Aly, they are so adorable! You are so lucky to see them going through their lives, growing up! It must be quite an experience, you must learn a lot, because I don't see too many people bottle feeding pups! We would love to see some more pics of them!
I love your sig too! Awwww!
:D :) :D :)

Awwwwww! Wow.. he is pretty big than his sister.. maybe she is a runt.. could that be a possiblity..? They are just way too cute! :)

They're so cute! I can only imagine the mess those little furballs made! :D Yikes!! Good thing they have an uncontionally loving mama like you. :) Oh, how did they enjoy the bath?

What sweet little pups! You are so lucky that you get to raise them. Thank-you for letting us get a sneak peak of their childhood:D

Aly what cuties you have~!! Maybe they well start eating their mush soon......they sure do know your their mommy though...:D ;)


Thanx for sharing~!

How adorable!!! I just love Sebastian, all rolly-polly like my Cincy-Bear was ( and is!)

Any word on how the rest of the litter is doing?

OOOooooh!! I just love the new pictures!! They have grown so much, and turn more & more cute every time we see new pics.

Mmmm! Mush!

ACK! cuteness overload. They are getting bigger and dare I say it cuter by the day.

Thanks Aly, I really needed that pick me up.

2 of them have died :( Both of them were small ones, but Piper was smaller than them. I'm pretty sure Piper was the smallest, but its been 3 weeks since I've seen the whole litter together so I'm not positive. I am feeling really bad and wishing I had taken the other small ones as well. They are a lot harder to keep alive :(

Aly, don't feel bad. You're doing wonderfully for Sebastian and Piper. You're their Angel Mommy! :) Remember that everything happens for a reason, (cliche, I know) and perhaps those pups just weren't developed enough to survive even if they had their birth mother.

You're doing a great job and, (I know it sounds hokey, but it's true) you're one of my heros. :)

Aly....did you notice the newspaper said "Sale"? I have my hands full with a 2 year old but I admit I am so jealous! What I wouldn't do to just caress and kiss those silly little characters! You're such a good mom! You of all people, should never ever feel guilty about anything!! You're an angel!

Aww! They are so cute!!! Puppies are great ^-^

AWWWWW they are soooo cute! :D

I'm packing up my babies now. They are going to stay with a friend for the weekend so I can get some sleep. The friend they are staying with also volunteers at the shelter so I know they'll be in good hands. I'm just going to MISSSS them soooo much :(

I'm sorry to hear two didn't make it, but you have done wonderful with your two!!

I'm glad you are taking a break...you deserve it!!! Try not to worry too much, relax, and you'll have your babies back in no time!!!

Glad your taking a break & hope you get lots of much needed rest!

Glad you are taking a break - bet you already miss them!!
Aly, can you list the pets you have at home? I think I missed something!!

Hehe, I went and visited the puppies today already :) My friend is doing great with them and they are very happy. We let them run around her house today and just laughed at them stumbling all over themselves.

Sammi - right now, here are the animals I have:

My own:
dogs - Reece, Lolly
cats - Shiloh, Skylar
fish

Fosters:
dogs - Peka, Sebastian, Piper
cats - Lucky, Chance

You are an amazing person! You are an angel to all animals!

I sure hope you were able to sleep and rest up in between missing those little ones!!!!

Aly they are too cute. I can imagine how much work that is for you but from the pictures it all just looks cute. You are such a great person for all you do for animals!
