Snickers (my lab) had pups and one was promised to a family that is close to my mother-in-law. They have other dogs so I know they know what they're doing, but yesterday they wanted to come and see him. DH and I weren't home but we leave the door unlocked so MIL can check on the pups.
MIL let them in (which kind of made me mad) then, the family took the puppy! He is only 5 1/2 weeks old! We have been feeding them puppy food moistened with water, and they just started eating dry food but they all still nurse at times but Snickers is trying to wean them.
In my opinion he shouldn't have been taken for at LEAST another 2 weeks. Besides that, this puppy was "promised" but they had no right to just come and take it when we weren't there. DH even said it was too early, but he said these people know what they are doing. And, they bottle feed deer, so I guess they will bottle feed him if he needs it.
The other puppies are fine, but Snickers is very needy, looking all around for her other baby.
I don't know who to be mad at....MIL, the family that took him, or both!
