Feeding Time

We have tongue movement.

We have milk vanishing.

We have a fed puggle.

My gut feeling is that there is a size limit. Below that and there is little chance of raising one. A friend tried to raise 2 puggles the same size as Spook; one died and the other survived. I think Spook has a 50/50 chance, and if he grows a little more then it gets better. I sort of feel okay about this because I know the vets at the zoo lost a puggle that was smaller, and if THEY fail then an enthusiastic amature can expect failures.

I head off to Europe next friday, so Spook will have to go to someone else. I'll be worrying all the time I'm there. At least I'll feel better if I get him to eat more.
