Just a " Life with Children Note " ,
My Beagle has had a litter of 4 very beautiful baby puppies. The short
version is that one required suture repair of a leg injury (Ms. Scarlett )
and could not be left unattended to feed, another ( Little Lonesome ) had no
suck, or desire to feed.  So, LC mom was "assisting " one to teat, and tube
feeding, then finger feeding the other until her suck kicked in.....Several
days after everyone was eatting well on their own, my 6 year old daughter
came into the kitchen with her hands on her hips, in her very serious mode,
and announced " Lonesome wasn't eatting again, but its ok, I latched her on
and she is nursing fine now..."
 Could I be accused of slightly prejudicing her ??  :)
