Grandma Maya takes great delight in cuddling the puppies. Her grandmama qualities shine through. She consistently cleans them thoroughly. Perhaps Jojo's cleanliness standards need adjustment. 😂

Good information

Raw feeding is an emotive subject and you may be surprised at how many people try to dissuade you from switching your dog to a natural diet. The arguments

Everyone should see this. This x-ray is of a 2-week-old puppy. When you get your 8- to 10-week-old puppies, remember this image. Their bones don’t even touch yet. They walk around so cutely with their big, floppy paws and wobbly movements because their joints are mostly made of muscle, tendons, and ligaments, covered by skin. Nothing fits tightly together or forms a true socket yet.

If you let them run too much or don’t limit their exercise during this time, you’re not giving them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited, bouncy run makes their bones hit each other. In small amounts, this isn’t a big deal—it’s normal wear and tear for any animal. But when you let your puppy jump up and down from the couch or bed, or take them on long walks or hikes, you’re harming those developing joints. Letting them scramble on tile with no grip also damages the joints.

You only get one chance to help them grow. A strong, healthy body comes from both good breeding and a proper upbringing—not just one or the other. Once they’re fully grown—around 12 to 18 months, depending on the breed—you’ll have plenty of time for more intense play and exercise. But for now, keep things calm while they’re still little, and give them the gift of a healthy body that can only be given once.
