Feeding your dog.

This photo taken on 10/19, when the puppies were almost 4 weeks old, is one of my favorites. Cody (left) looks like a drunken sailor and Lady (right) doesn't seem to have a clear shot to the food dish. It sure does look like Cody over-ate, and maybe she did, but we often found her sleeping on her back.
They were still residing in a box at 4 weeks, and between me changing their bedding daily and their mother, Rosie, cleaning them hourly, they managed just fine. And I figured, since their mother was still nursing them, two daily feedings were sufficient. According to Pet Web Site, I guess I should have fed the puppies less amounts and with more frequency. Pet Web Site states that "Puppies require to be fed small meals throughout the day and generally should be started with 5 small meals a day, bringing this down to four meals a day at the age of 3 months, then 3 meals a day at 8 months. It is important that the puppy is fed a diet designed for its age - there are diets specifically designed for puppies and young dogs which will ensure the growing dog receives the nutrition required for healthy growth."
