LOL............I respond well to compliments.............oh yes Im all that and a bag of chips!! As for the juggling I should be in the circus..........hee hee..but seriously I just dont have a social life right now.........but really when kids are young who does have much of one?
You get used to it, but if it wasnt something I really liked I would never last!
The run down of my day is something like this.
Wake up get my son a bottle my daughter juice and cartoons on, make coffee. Husband watches kids, Go check on mommies and babies and put the weak one on the boobie. Get cleaning supplies ready, let the dogs out and clean the night time kennels. Put out their food, water and papers. Come back and clean mommie and babie pens after mommies are let out for a brief time.
Husband off to work, so I feed my kids breakfast, usually something fast like oatmeal or cereal. Do dishes, pick up, put in a load of laundry....etc...My son usually takes a nap so my daughter and I go play with the dogs, I look for heat cycles everyday to check who I need to separate and who I need to get with Dukie! I do not breed my dogs every heat!!
I let my mommies out again, put sick baby on the boobie then fix something simple for lunch like ravioli and canned veg......afternoons I have some free time usually to take my daughter outside, playdoh, fold my laundry play on the puter some....its my connection to the outside world!!
In the late afternoon, all the dogs go into their kennels, I clean up the floor and disinfect. I try to always fix a nice dinner. keep an eye on the mommies and babies, when the puppies get older it really will be busy, I do have someone availiable to help me if I need to rush a dog to the vet or kids get sick. I get up twice in the night to help new puppy feed.
I live in a very big farmhouse, so I have a huge room for the dogs and a place to separate dogs too. With the weather nasty outside they cant go out but we have a large run.
Unfortunately the yorkies are not as spoiled as many of yours! But they are very well taken care of and we do spend time with them........puppies are really socialized because its so important.
Yes its hard work, but it is a labor of love, just like this little girl I have had to help every day and night, if she flourishes I wont be able to tell you how much joy that would give me!! I raise yorkies to supplement our income but it goes much much deeper then money........No fake here!...............LOL! |
