I totally understand what everyone has said about saying goodbye to their puppies. It seems just yesterday that they were born. Now everytime I sit in my back yard with them jumping all around me, I face the issue that they will soon leave. My husband has already cried. This stonehearted man says " ...but Ive put so much time and love into them...it doesn't seem fair.. I just laugh it off as I know soon I will have to face it also. Mariah will also as she just loves her babies. They play with her, chase her and give her all this love. She just idolizes them. Poor sweetie-do. Looks like we both will be singing the blues.
