and make the last feed earlier - you might get a bit longer in bed that way. Mine are always fed 8 am, 12 noon, 4/5 ish pm and 8 ish pm, tehn down to three meals a day about 5/6 months then 2 meals a day at about 9/10 months but the number of meals is usually set by the dog not completely emptying it's bowl in 10 minutes.

I forgot to say she should have been wormed 3 or 4 times before you collected her, every two weeks until 12 weeks old.

I feel like we're resurfacing now after a couple of challenging days.

As well as being more careful to take here outside at the right times we're also getting up twice in the night at the moment to check on her and give her a loo opportunity. She doesn't seem very keen to go out in the cold/dark though.

We've restricted her space in the kitchen and whilst she happily sleeps in her crate haven't locked it again at night yet - trying to see how we get on with papers.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice (and yes Annie you had covered most, if not all of those things off yourself).

We're almost fully migrated to Pro Plan with a litle warm water on and off (thank you Patricia and Jessica). And no milk but a few other goodies like the occasional carrot, a few frozen peas (one at a time - propelled by a hairdryer - I'll post the video when I get the chance) and sometimes an icecube (I think that's ok for her teeth?).

Poops are more solid now - must be the clay in the Pro Plan. When I heard there was clay in the food I was hoping for a pooped espresso cup or at least a thimble but it's still just poop at the moment javascript:emoticon(' Wink
