And, yes! Most of the time, we all have our hands full (of puppies).
My kids, Lucas and Stella, are trainers in training. They always cuddle and teach the puppies how to interact appropriately. For me, it is intense work, sleepless nights, lots of cleaning, scratches, bites, and a labor of love. Every time a puppy goes to its new home, there is excitement but lots of 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 the community.
