The 2 Sheltie girls are on Puppy food now. They are eating like pigs! The egg a day is going down really well, and they cannot wait for mealtimes. In fact they are scoffing so fast that I am beginning to think they are not getting enough, so they are getting lunch every day as well!
Yesterday I got them a real treat... they will have a chew on these at lunchtime today!
It is a bit stressful at home at the moment, the neighborhood is rife with Kennel Cough, and I am waiting for all of mine to go down with it, I have consulted 2 vets and neither seem too worried if the pregnant girls get it, as it is an upper respiratory infection and won't harm the pups. The best I can do is treat their discomfort with select medications. Already I have had 1 border collie cough mildly, and a couple of Shelties are clearing their throats.... Holding thumbs it isn't too bad.
Both girls are extremely affectionate at the moment. G comes to me every evening for a tummy rub (this is not usual). Journey is showing quite a bit at the 5-week mark - she is positively round!
