When our pups are born and up until they're about 3 weeks old, WE DON'T have company. Billy and I are solitary individuals anyway--we live on top of an isolated mountain. Our kids are grown and gone. It's just my way, but I want to be RIGHT THERE with those pups all the time. It's very quiet here and all of my dogs love each other.
