8 DAYS OLD





She is now 8 days old and weighs 8.2 oz so she has doubled her birth weight. Mama Saucie is interested in her from a distance only so that means we are required to feed her every 3 hours around the clock and make her poo and pee, burp her and brush her. Brad has been very helpful especially since I also returned to work this week and he has been able to do the 10am, 1pm and 4pm feed so I don't have to come home. Most important of all Brad volunteers to do the 4AM feeding so I can get a stretch of sleep between 1-6am.
Aubrey was over tonight and petted her for the first time and actually held the bottle for her after she had already finished eating. She is a lot of work but like parents of a new baby we are enjoying her and are excited by poops, weight gain and watching her every movement. We haven't come up for a name yet so we are open to suggestions. I think my kennel name will be Doodle Bug so ..... Doodle Bugs' Fat and Sassy or Doodle Bug's Princess. I want something unusual possibly even the name of a bug like Circade and then call her Katie or ?????
