I have never really been good at asking for help. When you do the majority of the work yourself in breeding handing things over doesn’t come naturally.. but breaking my hand has forced me to accept I have needed a bit of help.
Week 4 to 5 is one of the messiest stages of breeding. It’s when our mum‘s commonly decide they’ve had enough and weaning begins. Puppies are given solid food for the first time and food bowls sometimes become swimming pools and diet changes brings a whole new level of mess. It’s a week of constant cleaning even with two functional hands.
I was so lucky to have Kamilla from cosy pup fursalon kindly visit to wash my puppies this week.
Thank you so much Kamilla. You were beautiful with them, and I'm so grateful.
I want to give a huge shout out to my guardians too. Thank you to Aisha for transporting pregnant dogs. Courtney for overseeing Vet visits and Amanda for working around my ever-changing mating schedule.
I’ve had other guardians and owners reach out to offering help as well. It really shows that guardianship is a team effort and I couldn’t be more grateful and feel more supported🥹.
And finally, I am grateful
For my family for helping work around surgery and dog care and my kids are doing my hair daily helping me do my taxi .
It’s going to be a long 6 weeks but looking forward to a smaller cast and driving in a fortnight!
