Because I Loved Them First...

I didn’t sleep.

When I did it was in a whelping pen

Because I loved them first

I did all the health testing I could

I did pre and post whelping care

Because I loved them first

I miss life events, family gatherings, work, sleep and wouldn't have it any other way

My dogs come first that’s why all the questions

Because I loved them first

I cried over a still born I did CPR on for 20 min

I worried and cried and prayed over the weak and tiny ones fighting for them

I bottle fed and clean a million linens

Because I loved them first

I was the first to hold them

I was the first to trim their nails

I was first to give them a bath

I gave them confidence and encouragement

Because I loved them first

I will always take them back into my home

Because I loved them first

I worry and have sleepless nights even when they go to your home

Because I loved them first

When you call me with issues

Do not feel as though I do not care because remember

I LOVED THEM FIRST
