I will be picking up puppy formula and a bottle tomorrow. My wife has been rotating the fattest ones out every couple hours during the midwifing process. We bred her this one time to give a pup to a good friend (hope they take 2), but I may not be able resist keeping a sable male myself (even have a name: Mauser). Just what we need - a 4th German shepherd in our small house, but we do have a very big yard. We sleep well at night with all those teeth on the watch:) We will have Nessie spayed after this, but I find letting a female GS have one litter seems to make for a better adjusted dog. Its hard to let pups go when you are unsure of how someone will treat the dog. Our dogs have always been part off our family. After a few weeks, it will be fun to watch them play. What fun!
