Foster puppies!

Mom dog is still at the shelter, working with the behaviorists on a shy dog milestone program. I haven't even been able to see a photo yet because she's so stressed and shut down. The behavior team there is AWESOME, and has been able to place semi-feral dogs in the right homes after extensive work before. Since mama is just shut down, not snappy, she has a good chance of coming around.

Good hear that shes in good hands it must be so confusing for her on top of everything else. poor mom dog

Today's pup-date: Still very stuffed up nose but she finally weighs over a pound! Eating like a piggy and sleeping like this...



Nebulizer treatments after meals seem to be helping a LOT so I upped them from ten minutes to twenty. Hopefully she can get all that gunk out in the next day or two. No eyes yet, though the left one has a distinct twinkle in the corner.

So glad to hear she has a good appetite an finally weighs a solid pound

Today she is learning to play. Bedlam is a little rough and made her yelp with a paw poke, so I'm only allowing this in my lap for the moment until puppy is a little bigger. She also has tooth nubs that I can see under her gums but not feel yet, so I think I'll be introducing actual puppy food in the next few days, as she is showing interest in chewing her bottle.

She weighs 2 pounds today! Also she has started eating some of each meal out of a bowl. Blech. Weaning is my least favorite stage. It's everywhere!
