The Rascals litters are doing very well. The puppies were getting so big that it was quite a burden on Chocolate to try to feed them all. When two of them stopped gaining weight Harriett offered them solid food softened in milk replacer. Everyone dug in and we were able to start the weaning process. The pups are active and playful.
Chocolate was not very well socialized when she came here, but there are signs of progress. She is now accepting of petting and has started to seek out contact with us. Tonight during TV time she jumped up onto the couch with Harriett.
A few of the pups joined us for TV time tonight. Our work now will turn toward their socialization.
Naming the Rascals was a bit of a challenge. Some names, like Spanky, Darla, and Alfalfa are instantly recognized as Little Rascals, but many others are not. You can find the cast names at the Our Gang article on Wikipedia.
