Early morning the pups are put in the Shark Cage for
breakfast, while I clean up the puppy area
Green Girl wondering where all the food went
Early breakfast in the whelping box
Since they finished all their early meal, I give them a bit
more an hr later. Judging the amount the pups need at this age is hard. If they eat it all, I give them more. If they don't eat it all, Bailey gets more.

If you pick up a starving Dog and make him prosperous,
he will not bite you.
This is the principal difference between a dog and a man..."
Mark Twain
Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless
he's owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest
affection with a flick of his tail than a man can
gather through a lifetime of handshakes.
Gene Hill
The poor dog, in life the the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still the master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth,
While man, vain insect hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Lord Byron
Inscription on the monument of his
Newfoundland dog, 1808
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking
your face…
Bern Williams
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours,"
faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe
it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
Day 34

This morning when I went into the puppy room, 8 of
the pups were crammed into the little airline crate sleeping. I put a crate in the puppy room for them to get used to.
One pup was sleeping in the whelping box with all the
room and toys to himself.
