i hold my girl for 20 minutes 2 x's per week but NOT
when she's in shed,
during the 2 days after a meal or
on feeding day.
so for example, she ate today so i wont touch her til sunday and then i'll handle her again on wednesday.
i try to keep a somewhat consistant schedule but i know it'll have to change if she goes into shed or doesnt eat right on feeding day or just seems a bit more cranky that particular day. i allow for flexibility but still try to remain as consistant as possible so she's not having to constantly adjust to new routines and stuff.
