Chloe & her babies

Chloe is really a fantastic mother. She NEVER tires of her babies, taking care of them during the day and each night before bedtime, I say she tucks them in because she makes sure they are all nice and clean each night. Usually when the puppies reach 8 weeks old we start to get them used to not having "mama" with them. We want the transition to their new homes to go smoothly. They will have slept in crates separately as well. We have less than a week and Tucker will be leaving the nest to join his new family and then Ella, Maya and Sherman. Yes, it will be a sad time for us, as each puppy holds such a special place in our hearts, but the joy on the new families faces when the day finally arrives for them to pick up their new bundle of joy makes it a little easier. I don't know where the time goes, it seems like the wait in anticipation of the expected litter takes an eternity, and once the puppies are born the 10 wks fly by and before we know it is time for the puppies to leave the nest to join their new families.

  2. Thanks for the comment about Tucker. We are very anxious to pick him up Friday. I will be watching in April to see the puppy you choose for your family. I think Sassy and Charlie will have beautiful babies.

    I agree! Chloe is a caring mother. I can't wait to see her and the siblings. They are sooooo cute.
