I find it hard to believe you miss/refuse-to-concede so many points.
I am not upset, you are.
Of course you find it hard to come back from basic logic. It is impossible. I don't mean to downtalk you, as I have been negligent myself. We all have. But the situation is caused by negligence, and I believe your practice of not looking after the pups at all, until 3 weeks is also negligence. Not being disrespectful, just honest.
If you didn't ask for advice or help, then I am curious as to what made this for then?
No, you and I aren't the only people who have been negligent in our care; you are just the only one having a tough time coming to terms with your own negligence in this issue. When I have had swimmers, it was because I created the condition for it to exist through not paying attention to how fat the pups were getting, and by having them on a slippery surface. I don't see why you're having such a tough time admitting this about your own situation. It's not that big of a deal. However, killing the pup for being a swimmer would be a pretty lame thing to do.
Please stop and leave it alone now. I am sorry if I offended you also.
Thanks,
Jack
