They are only three weeks old today. We had three deposits the day they were born. We are not breeders per se, but had a male and female and my daughter who is 10 wants to be a vet. So I decided this experience would either dissuade her or fully entrench the idea. My daughter now more than ever wants to be a vet and took charge during birth tying of the umbilical cord and cleaning the puppies. We spend at least 20-30 minutes a day with each puppy so they will be awesome dogs.
 
I've never participated in the delivery, ("I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies!") but I didn't know you had to tie off the umbilical cords for puppies. What do wolves and such do instead?

BTW, I accidentally omitted the word "few" in my post. As in, " ......a few weeks old". :)

Great dogs. Very stubborn. And tons of skin and ear issues. Miss ours, though. Love the rescues we’ve got now, except for the shedding.

You're a rockstar parenting team, Mountaineer. That is incredible parenting, brother. At ten, just incredible. My son took till he was 11 to realize that he wasn't gonna be a YouTube celebrity.

Great stuff, man.

(my son wants to be an engineer now, aerospace, but it took near-Korean-level parenting from his mom and myself to get him on track. Have made him cry, literally, about his grades, but I digress)

Just fantastic stuff, man. You pumped me up, brother. And your pups are gorgeous.

My wife was 4 when she decided she wanted to be a lawyer. My daughter was 5 when she decided to be a vet. She has a first class mind that I have always thought she would be an engineer or lawyer. She reads at a 9th grade level as a rising 5th grader. They are both way smarter than me.

I rescued a dumped Pit puppy last year.

Nursed him back to health and kept him to about 8
months then found him in a good home.

Been caring for a big bird the last few years

He's still a bit dangerous but will ride on my arm when his attitude is right.

He's probably just pissed you won't turn on Sesame Street!
 
I had two boxers. Gunter, and Gretchen. Gunter passed away last year, but Gretchen is still going strong. Unfortunately, with my occupation, I doubt I will get another pet after Gretchen leaves us. Maybe when I retire, but the wife says my retirement will be a short one.

Sorry for your lost, brother. I'm in the same boat, no time to properly care for a dog.
