practical4wheels Thank you. We know now it was not poisonous/venomous but it would have eaten the puppies. It was a "rat snake". We also found out they are protected.... We called conservation but they said it was an "ok" kill because it would have eaten the puppies, all seven...

Feminism is a cause that is supposed to promote women's rights. But often feminists use women's rights as a means to further their own political cause. In other words issues affecting women become a tool to promote an ambitious...

practical4wheels I see a lot of little ones like that. With our two yr old we started early, from infancy. We would show him toys, then put them back on the shelf. As he got older he would be able to play with them, then we would put it back and leave. Today, we can go to a...

What do you do when the mother dog does not want to open the sack of the puppies when they are born? Do you open it yourself or let nature take its course? What if she does not want to nurse the puppies? When do you introduce the...

practical4wheels Thanks. The first two puppies left the mother at 10 weeks. She was already not letting them nurse more than once a day, some days not at all. At 12 weeks she went back to her owner.... with an open invitation for a return...

practical4wheels ALL seven puppies made it. The last puppy was a surprise. She finished (or so we thought) after nearly 6 hours with 6 puppies. She laid down and licked them and took a nap so we went inside. In the morning we checked on her, counted the puppies, and found...

practical4wheels Thank you. This is pretty much what we did. She did nurse all the pups, but the smallest, always got pushed away by the others. They took to eating out of the dish, homemade dog food, very quickly. They started finding homes at about 10 weeks.

Parenting: By what age should a woman give birth? Today more and more women are giving birth later in age. We hear about women giving birth to healthy babies at 60! What do you think? I am 47 and thinking about it.

practical4wheels She is not my dog. If she was, she would have been spayed. The owner did not know how to take care of her, or the puppies. We took her in so she wouldnt be locked in a shed on her own. By the way, all seven puppies have grown into wonderful puppies and...
