DIANA'S PUPPIES

14 Jan., 2010 Our puppies are here at last. Our precious Labradoodle puppies arrived this morning, starting at a little after 3 am. I missed the first girl being born and Diana took care of everything just like she should have. The following 6 arrivals were a different story, she became confused and a little disoriented once I came out to help her. I was very grateful that I had done my homework on what to do if she didn't care for them. It was very chaotic for about 2hrs as 5 of the puppies came fairly close together. After the first 5 we had about an hour break before the final 2 arrived.
I think it is ironic that my Sunday school lesson this week is on the beauty of the creation. I gained a greater appreciation for God's power and wisdom as I watched our sweet Diana struggle with learning to be a mom. It truly was a miracle as she gained confidence and the maternal instinct took over.
I am truly grateful for the beauty and wonder of life. What a joy it has been to see my own children's excitement and joy throughout this day. Please join us as we take this wonderful journey down life's path. Thanks, Drewdle
AAAH!! We love heating pads!!
