From worrying about her before labor, to during labor (THAT WAS AWFUL!!), and then having 6 beautiful pups (that was the only great part) to then 23 hours later burying one of the puppies. It is a whirlwind of emotions and then they start growing and you have to figure out what in the world are you going to do, where are they going to be, how and when do you feed them and are they healthy and then you have to find responsible homes that will spay/neuter and love them.

If you are not or don't have a very experienced mentor then DO NOT DO THIS!! Love your baby and give her a wonderful life. As soon as my puppies are weaned we are going to the vet and getting spayed!

I appreciate you frankness on the subject!
