Bella's babies - 7 weeks old and leaving soon

[ladylawinkc]

I again wanted to thank everyone for all the help you have provided me during Bella's pregnancies, birth and puppy rearing. I can't believe that tomorrow they will be 7 weeks old - the time has flown by so quickly. Every time I think of them going to their new homes, I simply get sick to my stomach. I mean, how can you become so attached so quickly? At least since I am giving them away, I was able to choose family and friends whom I know will give them a good home. Another advantage is that I will be able to see them every once in a while - but still I just can't imagine having that room empty. They have grown so quickly and all have the neatest little personalities. Before they leave me, I just wanted to let everyone see how beautiful they've become. My little Bella did a wonderful job and is such a good mommy. The experience has been the best for all of us. I can't do that "puppy party" thing though - I just know what I can endure. So I've asked everyone to just come and pick their babies up. That way, I can have a few quiet moments alone with each one and tell them good-bye.

Again, thank you to everyone who answered my millions of questions and concerns - you guys are just great. I also made sure all the prospective parents know about this website - what an incredible help!

Oh such sweet babies - the parting is such a bittersweet time - i know and i can only take solace in the fact that i am increasing someone else's joy.
My hubby and i both feel that our greatest reward for all the work and sometimes worry is that wonderful expression of joy on the new owners face.
And you have it doubly good as yours will be with people you really know and will be able to see them grow, How lucky is that !!!!!!

Enjoy them while you still have them and know they are bringing joy to others when they leave you.
They are beautiful - but all Yorkies are !!!

Oh, that has to be so tough! I could never be a breeder because I don't think I could give them up and I would end up with so many babies!
They are beautiful puppies and I'm sure you will pick the right, loving homes for them!

You are absolutely right, but this is the first time we've ever let one of our animals have a litter. My daughter and I delivered them - and we were scared to death something would go wrong! But every day has been a new experience with them. You're right about seeing the joy to the new owners' faces. I made sure to let everyone come over whenever they could for the past seven weeks - and some just stay for hours playing with their little pup! Every owner has been here at least once a week since they've been born so I know these little ones will have lots of love and care. Even still, my heart is breaking and I seem to have a terminal lump in my throat

You know, it's funny you say that because I have made it a point to let them play outside as much as I can, and they just wear themselves out. So when they're in their little bed sleeping, I still can't leave them alone. Since my husband travels almost every week, I'll go in there, even when they're sleeping, pick one up and just rock it while I watch television. I can't even leave them alone when they sleep!!!

I'm with you - I could never be a breeder!!! We just wanted Bella to have one litter and be able to experience the whole process. I can't even tell you what an incredible little mother she has been. When she gave birth to those babies, she never made a sound. The minute she hears one peep out of them, she runs right into their "nursery." It's been an amazing experience. I'm glad I didn't sell them because that allowed me to pick out their homes - only to one family member and two good friends. I could never just sell them to a stranger. It will be a sad day to have to tell my little ones good-bye

Awwwhhhhh... They are SO beautful & I was really touched by your post, brought tears to my eyes... I cannot imagine delivering these pups, helping to raise them and watch them grow everyday, and then have to say goodbye...... BUT the joy you are bringing to the lives of the new owners is priceless, and it sounds like you picked some real winners..

You've done well my friend, and those pups love you for it!! XXX
