Plenty of Love to Go Around

The puppies are just 10 days old, but they are certainly well-loved already.  They are also being socialized and getting accustomed to being around kids and adults.  There are two great benefits to this:  (1) the puppies will be more tolerant pets from their early exposure to children and better socialized by living in a family environment, and (2) my girls get the awesome and fun experience of seeing puppies from birth right on through to the super, fun puppy stages before they leave our home for new homes of their own.  I'm so glad my girls have had the chance to see baby animals growing up as part of their own childhood experience; yes, it is educational, but it also just outright fun to see the absolute sweetness and cuteness of a tiny puppy or a newborn chick.
