Super Mom

How many mouths is Roxie feeding? You tell me in this video. She was actually feeding 9 - at least that is what I could count and see. There may have been a hidden one.

Roxie can smell which are hers. You will see her smelling each but she welcomes all.

We rotate all the toys and throw out those that have seen better days but we allow them to remain till they are really in great need of replacement. They do appreciate different toys so in your home take x number of toys out and rotate them with ones that you have away. They will appreciate them more and the enjoyment will be greater.

The pups are also teething in a big way. We have teethers that we get at Shoppers for baby and we freeze and rotate those but they also gnaw on what they can to soothe their gums.

With the teeth coming in as they are it will make transitioning to hard food before they depart easier.

So many changes over the next weeks. It's a truly fun journey!

Looks like 6 or 7 - and she looks delighted to be doing so!

Roxie is unbelievable!! Really and truly!! If she had 12 nipples she would probably feed all of them at once and love every minute of it! She is like the poster dog mom!!! :))
