Puppies

They're so cute and manageable at this stage! Congrats again! Have you had any luck placing them thus far? Maybe a little sign up at the vet's office or your local pet store etc would be a good way to get them some exposure early on... just list the ready by date so they don't think they're getting htem like today... it's always nice when people have had a couple weeks to thinkabout this endeavor before they get the pup... that way you know it wasn't a spur of the moment decision :) they are just precious though! You are blessed to be around them!

This is kind of messed up...
I got a bad rep point for keeping my dog in the yard....

There are enough homeless dogs in the world. You really shouldn't be added to it.- Jenn

I too got a neg rep point after posting my dog had puppies, they weren't brave enough to leave their name back then. Don't worry about it. Enjoy your puppies!!!

LMAO I only give positive reps, but I didn't realize I had to add my name LOL... Oh well...

It is a hot topic... on one hand there are millions dying every year in shelters and it's hard to make sure that you're not adding to the problem if you're having puppies... on the other hand, accidents do happen sometimes and at least the OP didn't toss them into the garbage or something like some people do...

Personally, I firmly believe that all pets should be speutered as soon as they're of age (or size) and I don't believe that your average Joe should go breeding his average Joe dog for money or to show the kids the miracle of life LOL... I feel it should be left to the "professionals"...you get my drift... but I know that my beliefs are only important to me and that I didn't have these beliefs till after I helped whelp 2 litters of pit mix pups for my ex...

OP are you able to help mom out and get some weight on her? Is she on a high quality puppy food? I know its hard... boy do I remember :( She's pretty small too even when she isn't the sole source of nutrients for 7 others... I wish y'all the best!

I think your bad rep. point is a bit much. They are taking care of the pups. I also notice your opinion never has an gray areas. It's always Must be your way are no way. None of us are perfect, if you are perfect please change your name to God. All of us have made mistakes, yourself include. When I first had dogs I thought a fence was enough to keep other dogs out. That is supposed to be the purpose of a fence?? Isn't it?? We find out that i doesn't always work. But if we pay attention we learn from our mistakes.
And I will sign this Nancy.

As far as the puppies go they are very cute and I'm sure someone will love them. Good luck with your little babies. :) The mom can be spayed to prevent other accidents.

Bad rep points over puppies???? Things happen and people need to realize that ....I'm sure we have all had things happen with our animals and in our lives that we did not plan on happening...all you can do is learn from it and move on....
Good luck with those pups and getting momma spayed and rested once those most adorable puppies have gone to their great homes:D

how can there be a gray area for speutering cats and dogs?

if you don't do it you run the risk of having even more pets added to the overpopulation not to mention the risks involved for the actual pet as far as cancer and other health issues

my personal opinion is that all dogs and cats that are not show animals should have to be speutered legally.. I'm very glad to see that California is trying to pass a bill that makes it illegal to not spay/neauter.

I volunteer at shelters and I donate to shelters so I personally see what the affects are of overpopulation. Many animals get euthanized daily because so many people don't bother to spay/neuter their animals. It's something that can be prevented if people would be responsible about their pet ownership and have their animals spayed/neutered.
