babies! puppy babies! lamb babies!

i have two rescued dogs, oscar wild and mystery puppy. with the exception of my two jack russell terriers, all my dogs have been rescues. why? because their parents were not neutered. i have loved all of them deeply and missed them just as much when they passed. a couple of my dogs were found in the woods. it seems some people would rather let their dogs keep breeding than to get them fixed. but they don't want all the puppies. so they take them out to the woods and leave them. and there are some people who want their dog to have just one litter so the kids can see the miracle of birth. thanks to you tube, these owners/parents no longer have to use this excuse. there are lots of pictures of puppy births on line to show the kids. 

please, unless you are a registered breeder, neuter your animals as soon as the vet says it's ok. and if you do have a litter you don't want or can't give away, take them to any humane center, rescue group or the pound. if you are going to let them die, let it at least be humane.

i don't know how to get a you tube video over here but if you will click on the highlighted you tube words in the first paragraph, you can witness puppy birth.
