I hear you!!!

Ok, I have to admit I may be going overboard just a little bit...or Bryan thinks so anyway!  But let me tell you....having newborn puppies has changed my life!  Raising a child is one thing, as women it is just part of who we are and it is second nature.  However, they are OUR children, therefore what we do as mothers and how we take care of them are "our control".  BUT, being the human mother to newborn puppies...well that is definately another story!
When Bray was a newborn and didn't sleep well, I started the bad habit of putting him in bed with me and Bryan.  I never worried about rolling over on him or not hearing his cries.  Yet when I found out Jada was prego with my babies one thing I was told that happened most often with newborn pups was that the mother would step on or roll over on them and suffocate them without realizing it.  This scared me to death after bringing Jada and her babies home with me.  Needless to say there have been several sleepless nights of up and down to check their breathing and making sure all was well.
Now I have had to create a new bed for them as they are growing and beginning to move around more.  In the last few days they have not only discovered a world outside of their bed, but they have completely opened their eyes and their ears are opening up as well. 
I have never hand raised a litter of puppies from birth, as a matter of fact I have only had a puppy at 6 weeks or more.  I had no idea what newborns were all about...that was always left up to mother nature or someone who had experience!  I can say this now though, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!!  This has been the best experience ever!
Yes, it has been rewarding, but at times a little nerve racking and scary too!  BUT, today has made it all worth while!!!  Now my babies are 2 1/2 weeks old and beginning to get a little more social and aware of their surroundings.  Today I was talking to Axel and for the first time ever he acknowledged my voice and his name and he came to me!  I was so excited!  How is something so small and so young growing and changing so quickly???  It seems they are changing and growing right before my eyes!  I even got excited about their first "on their own" poop! Lol!
I know, I know, seems a little rediculous to most, but honestly this has been a very rewarding and miraculous experience!  I am amazed everyday by God's work!  And even though it is "only puppies" as some may think, if you ever got this experience yourself it may make you think about how awesome life really is!
The dreaded part is approaching much more quickly than I thought it would...Jada (the mama) and Camo(the brindle pup) will have to return home with Becky and Axel will stay here with us.  It honestly makes me sad to think about it because I have gotten so attached to Jada in the past few weeks!  She is adorable, sweet, and well mannered!  But I can't see myself sending Camo back to his new home either!  I would never make a good breeder because I could never easily part with the babies!  If it were up to me the three of them would just stay here with us!
Anyway, the day is nearing and I must make myself face reality like it or not...until then I'm gonna keep loving these sweet babies and there mama like there's no tomorrow!
