Sadie goes for an 'overnight'.

Sadie's guardians came today to take her home for a few hours but I suggested she stay overnight to see how she does away from the pups.  Her babies are eating gruel and are quite content.  Her family would love to have her home for Easter and if she does well, that could be a possibility.

I had begun the weaning process early this week and some mommas transition very quickly while others take more time - it is all up to each mom.  I will hear from Sadie's guardian tomorrow morning and we will make a decision about the next step after that.

This morning, Willis, my choc/wht. parti girl that is an 'old maid' jumped in the pen and Sadie joined her.  Sadie was like - 'hey, you want to take over, be my guest!'  It was really funny.  Then I let the pups out to walk around the room for exercise and Daisy came in and was licking them and wagging her tail.  She laid down for a minute and the pups tried to nurse - Daisy quickly got up with a 'no milkbar open here' look on her face.  There is no lack of entertainment here.  :+)

Obviously, Sadie had no qualms about Willis joining in.

I think the pups were a bit confused though.  :+)
