Again

My dog Middy has gone into season and we are thinking about breeding her again. She is a great mom and her pups are always healthy and great. Every time I enjoy getting to know their personalities.

They all hold you finger with their front legs, just like their mother does. Middy loves to be scratched on her chest, so much so that she holds your hand there with her front paws. It’s so funny to see the pups do the same thing, even as young as a few days.

Middy is so good with them and takes such great care of them. Even as much as a tomboy as she is, when it comes down to it she can be quite motherly. It’s fun to watch her play with the pups and let them jump on her and bite at her and she is calm and lets them play and is so patent with them.

As for me, it’s a lot of hard work. The question really is, am I ready for a new litter of pups? I always love to see them and they are always so cute. That’s the thing about baby animals, even big ones like rhino’s or lions; all of them look so cute when they are young. No matter how big they all have that child-like innocence and look of wonderment in their eyes. How great is that? Plus puppies make everything better!

Of course they all grow up and as the pups get bigger I have to once again roll up my sleeves and clean up after them. People always remark that it would be too hard to give them away. Um, after cleaning up after 6 pups, yeah you can give them away.

We try our best to make sure they go to good homes and have been very fortunate in that regard. Usually only people who have already had Scotties want Scotties. I guess here goes nothing….again.
