February was a long month--Yeah, I know it's the shortest one and it seems like I just closed my eyes and it was over. Except for the part I thought would never end.  

 

Well, all the people I always love

AND whoever made those stupid little baking dishes that were too small for anything that I have so many of... turns out they are PERFECT for feeding puppies

AND Meyenberg powdered goatsmilk "just mix and enjoy" yes I mixed and am so enjoying... puppies that lap it up from the stupid little bowls 

AND God- for everything and especially building that little reflex into the pups at 3 1/2 weeks old that wakes up and says "time to eat like a big dog now! YAY!

AND THEY MAKE A CONVENIENT HEAD REST.
I wondered if I really needed to build these into the bed, I'm so glad we did. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a squeal and found one of the pups tucked safely behind mama. Whew!

Bosco is such a great mom and getting stronger every day.
Snow always makes here happy we went out early this morning for a walk.

Wow, three weeks old today! My head is still spinning. Yesterday was kind of crazy, but today a little bit of calm.
We've had a little manicure (X 13) and tasted puppy food--mostly on the fingers, but a little lapping from the "the bigs". Except that designation hardly works anymore because "the littles" are catching up in size and strength!
Something new happens every day...sometimes every couple of hours (X 13).

I can't believe two weeks have passed already since Bosco had her puppies. It's been a constant job of feeding her, feeding pups, rushing to the vet, laundry, and life!
She is the most amazing dog I have ever known. Even when she is so tired she cannot hold her head up she is the best little mother I've ever seen. At this point she is teaching me so much. There are no words to express my appreciation for Bosco my wonderful friend.
