There's Nothing Like Puppy Love

My grandparents' dog had nine puppies last month. They're Red Fox Lab's and the cutest things on earth. One of the puppies was still borne and another one died within the first week, but the ones that are still here are wonderful!

When they were born, they always had to be touching each other and their Momma. It kept them safe and warm. Princess {the Mom} was more protective over her puppies than anyone had ever seen.


At one point, Princess got an infection and wasn't able to nurse, so we bought some bottles and did the job for her. 7 puppies ~ bottle feed ~ every 3 to 4  hours. Can you say exhausted? My grandparents are major troopers!


The puppies are 6 weeks old now and have soft floppy ears. They love to play and be held {which is fortunate for me and Stacey}. Going outside it their favorite thing to do. They go through the little slits in the fence and tease the others who haven't figured out how to do that. They're adventurers.  


Not everyone gets the chance to be around small innocent puppies. I'm so glad I'm one who does. :)
