Ernie and I are bottle feeding this litter, every 2 hours, round the clock.  Seems like Chili did not produce her milk
fast enough to feed this enormous litter.  So we are assisting her a little bit till she can pick up nursing on her own.
All pups lost a little weight in the first 2-3 days, so do not be concerned on that fact.  All but the smallest 3 pups are
gaining well now and will get their tails and dewclaws done on Monday or Tuesday morning.  The smallest 3 pups are
on hold temporarily until they gain weight and I see them making progress to catch up and hold their own.
And are off bottle feeding.
