One week and One day

Today I returned to work.  I couldn't have scheduled my time off any better.  I worked until last Tuesday at 4:00.  Fury started nesting that evening and had the puppies on Wednesday and I had the next 7 days off to recover and enjoy them!  Today it was back to reality.

So my plan was to give her her morning meal of meat, bone, eggs, milk, etc and then leave her with a bowl of frozen chicken necks and another bowl of goat milk along with of course her bucket of water.  Ahhhhh, the best laid plans!  She ate her enormous bowl of food and even left a couple of crumbs instead of licking it clean.  I was confident she was full.  She was back in with the puppies and they were happily nursing and I brought in the food I planned to leave for her to eat later in the day.  She took one look, jumped out of the box and started eating the chicken necks.  I had other stuff to do so I left her to it and returned a little while later to find that she had eaten all but four necks, two of which she had put in one corner of her box and the other two in an opposite corner and there she sat, guarding them from me!  So I cleaned up the remaining necks and she was left with just the milk and water.   All was well when I returned home.

The puppies are gaining an ounce or two every day.  They all have fat bellies and are an awful lot like turtles when they end up on their backs!  Mr. Blue demonstrates this in the video.   Only two photos today but the video is a little lengthy.
