Needless to say, weaning pups isnt my favorite part of breeding. They should start eating puppy food when they get their little teeth, so I started them a few days ago at 4 weeks. Bella is less happy about nursing them than she was a few weeks ago, so it is a WIN-WIN for them. The resulting MAJOR poop clean-up and lack of quiet, therapy-moments :) for me is the losing part. BUT, they still have my heart.

First meal at 4 weeks
So, as a lover/cheerleader of all things birth, I love seeing a sweet breastfeeding relationship. I love seeing a momma overcoming the challenges that it can present, and all the emotional, physical and financial benefits from it are a bonus. I honestly wonder if my (now 10 year old!) baby Luke would have nursed until Kindergarten (ha!) if he hadn't have kept me up all night his first year. I SUPER DUPER miss nursing my little loves and adore watching my 4-legged nurslings. I can sit and watch them for hours, and think it must do to my endorphins what dark chocolate does.
