I have not seen my five wee beans since August 18th. I still wake up every 1.5-2 hours thinking I need to get them fed.
Thank you to their fabulous temp foster for staying in close touch and working with me to keep them moving forward.
We are now working on mixing formula into their canned food and introduced formula-softened kibble yesterday. They are not yet ready to drink formula from a bowl or a low-level Tupperware container. They are a young, just shy of 4.5 weeks old.
They will continue to have three meals a day of the formula / canned puppy food (1 can each feeding), and have two small meals (1 cup each feeding to start) of the formula-softened kibble. They are still on the nursing bowl for several meals a day. This adds up to a lot of feedings!
Tasha keeps the two smallest ones separate for feeding to ensure they get their share.
We do still need the following items for the wee beans:
1) Puppy toys – for large breed puppies. *Anything smaller will be choking hazards.
2) Esbilac powdered – 28 ounce or 5 Lb
3) PVD Essential Care canned puppy food – I have bought 8 cases yet we need more!
4) PVD large breed puppy kibble – I have bought two of the 14 kgs bags & we will need much more!
5) Essentials XL puppy pads

My dear sweet wee beans, my heart bursts with so much love for all of you!
