Puppy Life at Luxanna’s….
It’s been six weeks since our puppies have arrived and I have been knee deep in puppy breath, whining, kisses, feeding, cleaning and lots of poop. Until lately I have been sharing motherhood responsibilities with Luna, now I have more than she. Her nursing days are coming to an end, it is now an occasional duty I think out of guilt, I’m sure I speak for all mothers when I say….I understand!
I must say I do love it when they all see me coming and can’t get enough of me, there is a bond as if I had birthed them. All wanting individual attention, I find myself on the ground sitting in the middle of this lively group of puppies talking baby talk, I always made fun of people who did that and here I am…ewey ewey goewy!
Even with all the work, this experience has truly been rewarding. I take pride in nurturing this special breed of Shepherds and It gives me a full heart to know that these dogs will bring many years of love and devotion to a family. Shortly they will have moved on to their new homes and I will be left with an empty soft spot and a new appreciation for the wonders that mother nature has created in the animal world.
I consider myself lucky to have had this opportunity by my good friend Debby. There will be more babies to come in the future….right after Luna gets her herding title!
