OMG, Kathy, what a great post. It is truly an unbelievable feeling when you hold this tiny being in your hands. This person does not know what she's been missing. Staying up all night helping your bitch with whelping, being so tired you can hardly keep your eyes open, but what a reward. Oh yes, I'll do it again.

The initial dream, the challenge of finding just the right breeding partners, the expectation and anticipation, the absolute miracle when with a sputter a puppy takes its first breath in your hands, little tiny faces lifting theirs to yours to be kissed, observing your bitch with a contented look on her face, realizing she's more beautiful to you then that at any time she'd received a whole host of awards, proudly watching the babies grow and just bursting with pride and so darned grateful that you were allowed to play a tiny part in all of it...you couldn't pay me enough to give it up.
