Merry & Noelle are three-and-a-half weeks old now!
They have started to play BITEYFACE after meals.

They seem extremely active at that time.

Noelle has figured out Play Bows!

Even though Merry is colored like a black Lab,
she carries her tail like an Airedale when she is active.

I had a scare yesterday. At the advice of a breeder,
I mixed up about a tablespoon or two of baby rice cereal
and began to introduce them to it. They both lapped it up a bit,
but seemed to get just as much on them as in them.

At the next feeding, Noelle didn't
want to drink her goat's milk . . . not any of it.
Merry happily ate all of hers.
When I put Noelle back in the box,
she just crawled off to the side
and went to sleep.
Needless to say,
was a bit freaked out. Of course,
things like this tend to happen on
a Sunday when the vet office is closed.
I did get hold of a couple of
breeder friends who said to
hold tight for now since
she was not dehydrated.
Easier said than done.

I sleep in the room with
them & Charlotte and
got up often to check on Noelle.

About an hour before the next feeding time (2 a.m.),
Noelle was suckling on Charlotte, as was Merry.

When 2 a.m. came, she was hungry again.
I breathed half a sigh of relief.
I still don't know why it happened.

A third breeder friend called me in the morning to give me some advice
of a few things to have on hand (Karo syrup and I'll talk with
my vet about getting some amoxicillin drops).
I will skip the rice cereal and try softening a few kernels
of puppy food later in the day and see how that goes.

These pups are adorable! And Charlotte looks so sweet!

OMG - they are so adorable - I don't know much about puppies, but will their eyes stay blue - they have beautiful eyes!
