Hungry much?


I think it is time to increase Zene's food portions, looks like she was hungry and ate my leather shoe ;)

All kidding aside, Zene is in Week 5-6 of her pregnancy.  Some things to expect his week are:
  • Start to increase the dams food ration (wink, wink!)
  • Don't overfeed, excessive weight gain should be avoided.
  • The foetuses are now and are fully developed miniature dogs.
  • The Dams abdomen starts to get larger.
Zene is eating almost 2 2/3 cups of Holistic Select Grain Free kibble and a few spoonfuls of I And Love You dehydrated raw dog food (the name is funny, but the food is excellent!) or cottage cheese, a sardine or other healthy table scrap (veggies, meat, pasta, rice).

I am also exploring using a RAW diet (http://rawfeddogs.org/rawguide.html) for Zene and the litter. In the past I have fed Stella and Chewies Raw Frozen Patties and LOVE the results, nice muscle tone, shiny coats, etc.
