Stuff people don't always see in this business:
As most of you know, I don't mess with the pups any more than I absolutely have to for the first few days, to keep moms stress down, and germs away from newborns.
As fun and cool as having a new litter is, I know it means possible heartache if one doesn't make it, weeks of washing blankets every day, cleaning up messes all the time, and making sure a spot in the house is safe and warm 24/7 for momma and babies, vet visits, shots, deworming, special food, and as they get older, some very noisy, stinky poopers.🤦♀️😂
I say all that to say, I do not put them out on the ground until 7 weeks, (a week after their 1st vaccine), we don't have a garage, or basement, so they're in here with us the entire time we have them, except small adventures on the porch and grass the last week here
I also don't get many "good" pictures in the first week, and I will be picky about where they go, because these are our babies, and I want only the best for them.
It's not all smiles and sunshine, and just playing with cute furbabies.
I lost the runt last night, and my heart is aching for momma, but she seems to be over it for the most part today, focused on the ones she still has. But seeing mommas face when I had to take the little one from her, breaks my heart, and is just one of many of the hardest parts of this. I do this for the experience for my kids,(even the tough stuff), and the joy it brings others getting a new baby. We get pretty attached, and letting them go is so hard. But knowing they're going to fantastic homes, and seeing a person's face light up when they hold their new baby for the first time, makes the tough stuff a little easier.
So to our K3 family, thank you guys for being the very best, and being patient with me as I balance all the things! ❤️
