Update on Princess and Her Brood

My Chihuahua's four pups are about five weeks old now and peeing and crapping all over the place. They are a handful for her and there is little more than a skeleton left of the poor mom, as they deplete her of energy and milk daily.

She is such a good mother, constantly grooming and permitting them pile on top of her, and nibble on her ears and tail all day long.

The whole thing has been a somewhat blessed event, as my wife and I watch the beauty of nature take its course right in our living room.

When we enter the room unexpectedly, or the door bell rings, they bark and growl already. I am almost dreading having to get rid of them in a few weeks, but ay Chihuahua, they are becoming a pain to look after!
