Poodluv:

The oinkers certainly keep me busy and will get even busier as they continue to open their eye/ears and mom will start to feed less and less starting at 3 weeks and on.

This part from 1-3 weeks is the easiest part of raising the pups, they need nothing from you but cleanliness and everything from their dam, feeding, warmth, stimulation.

The hard work starts at 3 weeks when you start weaning them, cleaning after them and starting the potty training on newspaper, shaving faces, and bathing...WOW what a job !

So true about finniky eaters.. Poodles are known for this much more so the standards than minis. Salsa is a chunky girl and so padded she should really go on a strict diet , my others are lean but well padded still ribs can be felt.

When my husband takes out a piece of bread , LOL usually raisin bread they stop eating, leave their dishes and surround him.. I tell him NO, not before they finish their food.. They have such a sad look to their eyes.. but it does not impress me.. LOLOL
