We had two groups of helpers today for 2 of the feedings. It was great. I was more relaxed about the whole process and the joy on the helpers’ faces was incredible. There really nothing like puppy kisses.

A very busy last few days. The puppies and mom spent Thursday afternoon at the Animal Shelter. They all got checked out by the vet, then passed to a willing volunteer for playtime. They’ve all gained weight and have the appropriate puppy belly.

And she sleeps. It’s been another long day in the life of a mother dog. But again, we learned a few things to make it all easier.

I’m exhausted. There, I said it. Yes, of course, I still love it, but I’m tired. Physically, my body aches.

Lots of cleanup today. But I feel like I have a handle on how to swap out bedding while the puppies are eating, then change the newspapers

The dogs are all getting a high quality diet of organic, human grade food that includes dehydrated chicken. I add water and let it puff up. For the pups, I grind it in the blender first.

Have you ever seen 11 puppies in one place before? They’re so darn cute, it makes me feel like Santa visited all over again!

I’m still in shock. Kathy from the shelter called to ask if we might be interested in fostering a mother dog and her 11 puppies. The puppies are 3 weeks old. Can we do this?
