Hmm Why, Mom?

Here is the gallery.

Mothers have decided not to feed their pups and a few pups are not happy about it. It is called, you need to grow up, not be so dependent on me - tough love sort of thing. It is hard to handle when you are young but I let moms dictate when it happens. They know best. 

Some moms will feed them till they depart. That is actually not great as they do need independence before they depart. They will adjust.

What will happen? They will feed when they are full to take the edge off and not anymore till their milk dries up. 

Till this process is done, they can't truly play with them. When it is complete, they will spend their time teaching and playing. So, in reality, the earlier they do this, the better they are. 

Pups have had 2 very full play sessions. They will have another before bed. I am going to eat and then finish the blogs, upload more videos etc.

The amount of work I am doing from 645am till about 11pm, makes me feel old. I am honestly exhausted without a break. Dennis manages to get one sitting outside with the dogs. I just go nonstop and I am feeling it. I can't blame Dennis as he stays up later than me doing the floors etc

Now  if only Yoshi has pups Sunday during the day - please!

The pups are magnificent. They honestly are. I could do less with them and sit but these are critical days helping them to become all they can be by exposing them. To know they will go home more confident is worth the work.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.
