Watching Missy nurse her pups in the morning was always fun and relaxing. The puppies would rise early and start crying out to be fed. I would prepare for each feeding by donning my latex gloves, laying out the tablecloth padding and moving the puppies from their sleeping quarters to their seats at “the table”. Next, Missy would move quickly to her centerpiece position on the table, and lay down for the feast. My job was to make sure each pup was able to enjoy the meal. Once the sucking and smacking started, I knew it wouldn’t be long before I would hear another familiar sound.
You see, Missy and I had an understanding. Her job was to bring the nourishment, and my job was to make sure everyone had plenty to eat. She trusted me implicitly. In fact, she was so sure I was on my job, that she would relax her body and fall asleep, I mean a deep sleep. She would sleep so hard, she would snore! I loved knowing that Missy felt so cared for and comfortable with me that she could fall asleep, trusting me with her babies.
Oh what a joy it is to trust and rest, knowing that our babies and treasures are in good hands! It is my wish for you today.
