What's the best way to do this?these foster pups are just about ready to go.Mamma doesn't nurse,seems to be dried up.I have been taking the pups out to socialize with our kids,cats,t.v.noise, one at a time.Allie worries til they are all back with her.Now,we aren't sure if she should be the one to go to the shelter.(she has to be spayed before she is rehomed)OR do we keep Allie here and send the pups to the shelter.
I know she's going to miss them but how long does it take for the Mom to "get over" looking for the pups.Or do we send the whole batch over and have the pups leave one at a time,So she has the others to still fuss over?Usually we don't get a whole litter like we did.Normally it's the last one or two pups "left over" from a litter.Allie is such a sweet Dog,Don't want her to go through too much stress.
Also,I have the pups and momma in two of my bedrooms, which have a archway in between.So Allie spends most of her time in one room and the pups are in the other.Until the older Dog I'm fostering goes home(this week) I can't have Allie all over the house.One of the pups when having one on one time will just shake and hide her head (if she can)it's like, IF I don't see it,then I can't be afraid. So how do I help her get over being afraid.Karen
