Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is 5 weeks now

Kicker is 5 weeks old now. He is on the Esbilac weaning formula and weighs 7 lbs. He has started to interact with my adult dogs, especially Olliver, the Great Dane. Here is a 2 minute movie from this morning:

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is 4 weeks old today!

Above: we got a little hot and had to have an ice pack to cool down.

Above: it sure smells good!

Above: strange world out here....

Above: but everything smells so interesting!

Kicker is doing great. He weighs 5.3 lbs now, compared to 1.3 lbs when I got him at the age of about 10 days. His development is satisfying and we are very very happy with him.

Feral Kittens and Dumpster Kittens

We are all doing great here. I managed to get one of the 4 ferals to come around a bit, so I kept her and put her with the 2 dumpster kitties. The other 3 ferals are out on a huge dairy farm as barn kittens right now.





Her name is Stripes .

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy's first solid Food

4 Feral Kittens

I was asked to give 4 totally feral kittens a chance. They are about 8 weeks old, eating on their own, but they are throwing a hissing and spitting fit as soon as a human comes near! And they were badly starved.

I put them in the cage, gave them some food and left them alone. This morning they seemed to be a bit more comfortable and I was able to touch one kitty (the one in the first picture) while she was eating and he/she didn't complain, so that's a good start.

I wasn't able to snatch really good pics, but you'll get the idea:






They appear dirty but healthy. Stool and everything is normal.
