Day 27 - 4 Hours Yeah!

Meal times have now moved to 4 hour intervals - much more manageable than the 2 hour shifts I have had for the previous 26 days. I even get to sleep soundly. The pups are finally not ravenous every 2 hours. They are eating more and rest/playing longer between meals. Today they had two meals outside.
They still wear a fair portion of their food but being outside it is so much easier to clean up after a meal. Koyuk is still nursing with each meal but drains dry within a couple of minutes. Canine teeth emerged today. Nursing must really hurt her.
The three older girls also took advantage of more time to catch up on sleep.
The game of the day was wrestling complete with take-downs.
Dinner...
and more play.
 
Time to prepare the midnight meal, do clean-up and hit the sack for four hours - yeah.
