Hope your Christmas was as good as ours was! Gifts at home, then we picked up mom and traveled to my sister's for Christmas dinner. My sister and her husband, my nephew and his girlfriend, my daughter and her partner, mom, Ron & me, and four dogs - Kris's charming Rat Terrier and her big mellow Dane/Lab cross, Jess's Meribel and our Fern. Good thing Kris has a big house!
Fern's first Christmas, and she thought that unwrapping gifts was such fun! Looked like a little kid on Christmas morning. The dogs all got gifts to unwrap, although Holly had to do hers in her crate as she's a bit into "resource guarding" and gets a little protective about "her things". She doesn't snap, but does growl, which I don't care for. People can take anything from her, but she guards her space from the other dogs when she eats or plays with toys. We raise our own dogs to "share", so I don't want Fern picking up bad habits. This is something that is easily trained around.
Pups were pretty bored when we finally got home last night. Only Fern got to go along to my sister's for Christmas Day, and the others all stayed home. Holly stayed with the pups as she still has some milk left, but not much. They are pretty much getting their nourishment from a bowl now. Goats milk, cottage cheese, eggs, ground turkey and chicken, and kefir so far, plus a chicken neck each once a day. This morning they will get some sweet potato added to their breakfast, and perhaps some beef for dinner. They've also had well softened kibble twice. Everyone is eating well, although Vittoria and Melitta get a separate bowl as they do not eat as fast as the other sharks!
