For me, the best job in the world is being a mom. God blessed me with five children and the job of being their mom which I wouldn’t change for any other job. I knew God gave me the responsibility to love, care, teach and raise them and then let them go into the world and trust them into His care.
Next best job I could wish for is raising my puppies. Much like my children but only for a short two months, I love, care, teach and raise them – then let them go into the care of our forever families.
I know I have said it many times before but, going home time is bittersweet. Raising my puppies is a full time job for two months. When the puppies are in my bedroom, they are right beside me to care for if needed in the middle of the night. When the puppies are moved to the main floor, I have a night time routine. Before I go to bed I spend time in the puppy enclosure to hold and cuddle puppies. The night before they start leaving, I shed a few tears and hold them a little tighter. Lucky I am very busy preparing them for their forever families – no more time for tears; just the joy I share with the forever families when they come to pickup their sweet puppies.
Preparing Puppies To Go To Their Forever Homes

First, Puppies get their nails trimmed; they have become accustom to this because we trim their nails every two weeks.
Next the puppies are bathed. I was very surprised at how well behaved the puppies were. We only had a couple puppies try to make their escape.

I have spent the past two months loving, caring and teaching our puppies. I am so thankful that our puppies have joined such amazing families and know each will be loved! My wish for all my puppies is that they will be loved, bring much joy, and have a long and happy life!
Forever Families, continue to provide new experiences each day, always include play, and never stop training your puppy. It won’t be easy because they are still young but, with patience and consistency on your part, they will grow to become well-behaved adult dogs that you will enjoy for their lifetime.
It brings joy to know I have started each puppy on the road to be a happy, calm, confident, well adjusted dog. It is now up to their forever families to continue teaching and loving these sweet puppies.
Keep in touch ….. it always makes my day when I receive an e-mail from one of our puppies families! I love hearing how they are doing and seeing pictures! When I started breeding, I came across this poem which describes just how I feel!
