We do not support Puppy Mills!
Every morning I wake at 5:00 am. I greet all the doggies and feed the puppies first and clean them and their pen good. They are growing and their bellies are the most hungry. Next, I feed all the adults and clean up after the ones who used newspaper to go potty during the night (which is all of them). Before letting everyone out to play, I clean their eyes, brush their teeth and comb out their trimmings. Now, just for the little bit of dogs we have, I spend 2-3 hours doing this every morning. Once this is done, I carefully scrub the floors with bleach and wash any bedding that looks dirty. I check the calendar to see if any one is due to be wormed, vaccinated, needs to be bred or scheduled to see the vet. When done, I answer my e-mail from people looking for pets. By noon, the puppies are hungry for a second feeding and again need to have the pen cleaned and paper changed. Next, I take the dog bedding out of the wash and hang it out to dry. In-between, I run my 92 year old Mother to the store, clean the house and fix dinner for Mike and me. I feed the puppies again at 5:00 PM and of course, clean the pen and change the paper. The adult dogs are hungry around 6:00 PM and bed down at dark for the night. After bedding down the dogs for the night, I pick poop up in the kennel. If time allows, I fill out AKC papers, print off Mini Tips, health guarantees, make complimentary crate pads and food/vitamin packets for our puppies to go home with. Before turning in myself, I check on the puppies again. I give them a small meal to last them until morning and clean the pen and put clean paper down. Cathy
