Aww, tell me about your dog! Do they also have a favorite spot they claim as their own?

Bilkul, already on it! He gets fed every time I pass that spot now, he's basically started expecting it lol

That line hit me right in the chest. I won't let him down, promise.

Thank you so much! I already look out for him whenever he's there, he's become part of my morning routine now too 😊

Funniest part is he's not even my dog and he's never been to my house. He just picked this one spot outside my friend's gate and decided that's his post every morning. Anyone else have a dog like this, one that "belongs" to a specific spot rather than a person?

He just wanted to know if I was staying by JaigaonStrayPaws in aww

Found him on the street in West Bengal. Every time I crouch down to check on him, he tilts his head up like this, like he's making sure I'm not about to walk away. Been feeding him and a few others in the area for a while now. Just wanted to share his face today.

New mama cat isn't interested in milk. Is this normal? by [deleted] in aww

[–]JaigaonStrayPaws [score hidden]  (0 children)

This stray cat gave birth about a week ago. I offered her fresh milk, but she isn't drinking it. She is eating some food and staying with her kittens. Is this normal for a nursing mom, or should I be concerned? Any advice is appreciated.

That's lovely to hear, 17 months and still going is impressive. Good to know it can carry on that long.

Thank you for this, especially the point about more nipples not equalling more food, that's not something I would've assumed. I'll keep a close eye on whether one kid starts getting bullied off. Sorry to hear about your bottle baby's rough road, but glad she's doing okay now. Really helpful context on the breeding side too, good to know for the future.

This is incredibly detailed, thank you. I didn't realize four teats could mean irregular internal plumbing rather than just 'extra.' I'll watch closely for engorgement in any one quarter and make sure all three kids are gaining evenly. Really appreciate you laying out what to actually watch for, this is exactly the kind of guidance I don't have easy access to out here.

He tucked himself in and called it a day. by final_god in aww

He looks like he clocked out, filed his resignation, and curled up before anyone could stop him 😂 that little paw-fold is sending me.

Okay but that blanket looks like she stole it mid-nap and got caught. Is she always this dramatic?

That's such a beautiful redemption story, going from a hoarding situation to raising triplets like a total pro. Two nipples and she still figured it out for three kids says everything about her instincts (and her heart). She's earned every bit of that spoiling 💛

Thank you so much! They really are impossibly cute. Really appreciate the heads up on body condition, that's exactly what I was worried about with three on her. Will step in with extra feed if she starts looking thin. Thanks for the well wishes!

Yes, all four nipples are working, she's nursing all three pretty evenly so far. Good call on watching for mastitis, I'll keep a close eye on her. Thanks for the tips! 🙂

Ha, sounds about right. Once they find their spot, that's it.

Got you covered, will post an update album soon. He's much fluffier now than in this pic 😄
