~Congrats on the new puppies. I've never had an aggressive mommy...so far! I am the only one in my house to handle puppies and when I do, I have hubby take the mommy outside to potty and during that time is when I weigh them or check them out. Other than that, I leave them alone until they are a little bit older. As long as they are nursing, their fine. Right now your mommy is protecting her babies, even tho you said she is spoiled. Mommies like to keep their babies in sight. Just go easy, slow movements, soft speaking voice, and lots of patience. She'll soon ease up. Oh, and I wouldnt give her any calming meds, might not be good for the babies....In my opinion!
Good Luck!!
