Puppies make Kit sleepy & cuddly ...

They also are now big enough to have made her stomach less able to hold a lot of food at one feeding. While last week Kit was eating about 6 cups a day of kibble mixed with either various wet foods or homemade meat and vegetable (but no onion) stews, starting yesterday, Kit is now only able to eat about a cup in one meal (compared to 2 cups previously), no matter how tempting the fare.

Beginning now, I will be giving Kit several smaller meals throughout the day so that her stomach can handle it and she also gets enough nutrition for herself and the growing pups.

Here is a photo of Kit from her first litter showing how she will look in about a week and what she will be doing with most of her time until the pups come.

Isn't she sweet?
