And, yes! We all have our hands full (of puppies) most of the time.
My kids are trainers in training. Lucas and Stella are always cuddling and teaching the puppies how to interact appropriately. For me, it is intense work, sleepless nights, lots of cleaning, scratches, bites, and above all, a labor of love. Every time a puppy goes to its new home, there is excitement but lots of shed tears and goodbyes.
Our family teaches the puppies how to develop into loving family companions, while the puppies teach us how to love more and serve.
