Indy's Crew



I know this looks upside down.  Sorry about that.  I was standing behind her when I took the picture.

Can you imagine all those little squirmy things inside her stomach!  Poor Indy!  All pups and Mom are continuing to do well, however I have decided to bottle feed as a supplement to what Indy is producing.  After all, there's only 8 "spigots"!  It will take a lot of stress off Indy if I help her out.  It takes 1 hour 45 minutes to feed them all!  Part of the reason for that length of time is because they all have to be burped after eating!  Did you know that?  And most of them don't particularly like it so it's like burping a gyroscope!

Sorry about the dirty pads.  It is impossible to keep things clean at this point.  Indy has a large amount of discharge at this point so all I can do is change pads every hour or so.  4 pads X 1 hour.  That works out to 96 pads a day!  I don't actually change them every hour at night.  Midnight is my last hourly change, then 4:00AM, then 7:00AM, then hourly again.  That still works out to roughly 80 pads a day.  That's a lot of laundry!
