It\u2019s as much as our Mistress can do to get her to do more than go in and check they\u2019ve washed behind their ears. Having said that, from weighing them this morning she is probably right. Our Mistress took pity on them at bedtime and gave them a top up of milk to help them sleep, but I think from their weights she may be spoiling them. They don\u2019t seem that keen on the puppy food, but I suspect it\u2019s more that they don\u2019t need so much of it as they did of the milky mix, so the same number of tablespoons means there is some left over. Anyway they are up to 5 tablespoons of puppy food in the mix and counting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10777\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10777\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/018107a7dde7e2629add90f6760832aa69f71cba96.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10777\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/018107a7dde7e2629add90f6760832aa69f71cba96-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Duchess being weighed\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Duchess being weighed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dixie now weighs more than any of our previous puppies even though she is the smallest.
