2. Weigh Spice pups, weigh Jeannie pups
3. Clean bedding
4. Do laundry
5. Brush dogs out
6. Sit while Spice feeds

9. Try to eat
10. Fold laundry
11. change bedding again
12. clean up after humans
13. Put ice packs on Spice
14. Check Roxie's temp. Check for any nesting, puffiness (she's with Nathan)
15. Do laundry - yeah again

The amount of work you do and care you take for the dogs and puppies is inspirational. They are all so well loved and it shines through in all your pictures, blogs, and in my Talemaker puppy, Havoc. Thank you!
All I can say is that it's 5 o'clock somewhere... ;)
Darlah I am your biggest admirer. I could not do half of what you do and I definitely think that the human clean up should go to others, like granddaughters. But I know, easier said than done. And the laundry isn't just throwing it in the machine, it is the sorting and folding that is even more than just throwing it in the wash. Oh my, I am tired talking about it. xo
Oh Darlah,
You are the most amazing person ever. I do hope Spicy feels better soon and you get a much deserved break.
I hope Roxie gives you a bit more time to recover although she looks like it could be imminent for more beautiful pups.
I Agree with Ronnin - At a minimum - you should take out 10 (unless it is your own) and 12. and add a nap in somewhere given the recent post of Roxie's temp!
Darlah
I have no idea how in t.he world you accomplish everything! You definitely deserve a medal!
Take care and good luck with Roxie.

I wish but Dennis is sleeping till afternoon so he can do the all night shift. The daughter is working. It is what it is.
It is exhausting reading about your morning, Darlah. I do hope you find some time for yourself before the next litter of puppies. The work you do is inspirational. Your love of and concern for all of the dogs - moms, dads and babies - is apparent in everything you do.
Darlah, you are one amazing women. I don't know how you keep on going. You do an amazing job. I'm praying Spice will begin to be pain free. What a great dog is she.
Oh my I'm exhausted reading the list. You need to enlist some helpers ! Maybe leave some things for others when they get home. Especially laundry (even if it is your own !!) and preparing some food so it is there for you to eat when you have no time to make something. If I lived closer I would bring you something !! Hope you get some sleep tonight.
Maureen: Didn't tell you everything. heh Wish I had someone to cook. Daughter has a busy schedule so it's me and sometimes Nathan. Dennis doesn't cook unless its frozen out of a box.
Oh my goodness, Darlah you must be exhausted. It is so true though, as mentioned in an earlier comment, I could not agree more, all your caring and love does shine through in all your pics and in our Talemaker pup, 3 year old Dusty Girl. Your care, love and attention for each and every pup, (plus your family) is truly inspirational.
