12/21/2021 940pm- Breeder's diary- Pups are 3.5 weeks old. There teeth are growing in. and there are 10. Lucy's teats are getting red. They gain about 4-5 oz a day and with 10? 16 oz are a pound. Needless to say when I say I shovel food I mean it. If you asked me how much food we feed Lucy I would say close to 20lbs. We are defrosting the goat milk. I ordered two cases of commercial premium wet- but that is more for experimentation. Raw is where we go. Lucy eats the feces and urine from pups. But her ability to fully sustain them is coming to a quick close. Good Job, Lucy. We kept the pup's milk flowing hard, but here is the part where we thankfully can help her. So this week? We start cutting the raw goat milk. Also, I will miss this day, I simply switch out the washable puppy pads and put in new ones. We even put in pillows, this is something that won't stay but made the room cushy. We wash in de-enezymer, and soon will put down a traction chemical to prevent slippage. In short? This is the lull. the sweetest and easiest time between whelp and going home. I promise I am enjoying it!
