I can just see Lucy, Sadie and Charley drivin' off into the sunset while I'm distracted by poopies - er - puppies. <br /><br />Irene, we did discuss the possibility of dividing up the litter, but there really isn't anyone available. What we've done instead is to set up a schedule of puppy sitters so I get away 2-3 times a week for an afternoon, evening or full day. Sometimes that covers appointments and prior commitments I had, but other times it is just free time for me to go do whatever I want to do. Those pup sitters (mostly SPCA volunteers) are my "Sanity Savers"!<br /> <br />While there is more mess to clean up as the pups get bigger, there is less prep to do as they move to "real" dog food, and also Lucy is fully back on kibble now so I'm not homecooking for her. <br /><br />There's only a little over three weeks left, I think - I'm assuming the pups will go back to the shelter at 7 weeks so they can be viewed by potential adopters and also have their spays/neuters. <br /><br />Lady Lucy is welcome to stay here until she is adopted - she wouldn't do well in a kennel and she'll need to be spayed also and will take a bit longer to recover than the pups I think. <br /><br />Gail, I have no idea when they will start sleeping through the night, but I SURE hope it is soon!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-49423126849250309152010-10-27T18:21:52.560-07:002010-10-27T18:21:52.560-07:00if Lucy wants nothing to do with mothering, could ...if Lucy wants nothing to do with mothering, could you parcel out a few of the puppies for someone else to look after? if 5 puppies stayed together, they'd still get the socialization aspect of the "pack" even tho' someone other than you gives them care and food, right?Irenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-42778747525861162592010-10-27T16:13:17.664-07:002010-10-27T16:13:17.664-07:00These young mothers!

She cuddled up very nicely on the bed last night and kept my feet warm, even if she does snore loudly.

I imagine you repeat fairly often, "This too will pass."<br /><br />Aw, Lucy! There's something wrong with the picture of you stretched out across your foster mama's pillow, while she copes with your children. Couldn't you at least give her a hand?
