Juliette has FINALLY giving an indication that she is ready to start weaning the pups. The pups spent almost the entire day Sunday loose in the house and yard since I was home. After lunch, they woke up and headed for Juliette, and for the first time, she ran away and asked to go outside to avoid them. I fed the pups some canned food and then tried the "do not nurse me" outfit on Juliette.
Poor Juliette looks pretty silly, but it works!
Unlike previous litters, these pups gave up easily. Pups from other litters have still managed to find away to sneak a meal or continue to pester the mama dog. But these pups made one feeble attempt, and then curled up for a nap next to Juliette.
