Friday Puppy Post

Because, hey, why not a regular feature for a while? Probably puppy pics will appear on Monday updates and random other posts as well.

Ruby Girl #2 and an unidentified Black and Tan — I didn’t turn the puppy over to look at the chest, so all I know is this is either Monster BT, who is gaining more than an ounce per day, a ridiculous amount for a puppy this age; or the other one, who is also gaining fast, but not that fast.

I tube-fed Little Ruby only 6 cc total yesterday and she gained 21 g for that 24 hours, right in line with all the others. She is still below the birth weight of the next smallest puppy, but she should be about that size tomorrow.

Morgan is now getting 2.5 times her normal food and that will probably be 3 times in the next day or so. Then 4 times by the end of next week. My goal is to keep her weight about where it is. I run a hand over her ribs every day to judge whether she is holding her weight. Monster Puppy is pulling as much from her as a normal three-week-old puppy. She is going to need a lot of food to keep up.
