Did you ever wonder how mom feels when her puppies find a new home.

After all of that ....Love and Devotion. Flesh of my Flesh. Blood, Sweat & Tears.  You tell me they grow up and go away?  You've got to be Joking, right? 

Let me tell you How We helped Cookie

understand that the kids left home.

One day the new Mother of Amigo asked if she could take him to the pet store to get a couple of items for him, now Amigo was only 8 weeks old but I felt he could go out for an hour or so. I granted her request, knowing that he would be home soon.  However, I forgot to ask Cookie.

She had no idea where Amigo was and she panicked!

Cookie became Manic!  She searched the house over. She searched the back yard.  Amigo knew how to use the doggie door.  Cookie kept running in and out of the doggie door.  Then one time she just didn't come in.  I went to look for her and found her in the jacuzzi! I scooped her up and used the hair dryer to dry her off.  After we were finished, Amigo came home.  What a frightening experience.

It is so hard to let someone else raise the puppy that you brought in to this world.  This is your baby.  If you already have a Chihuahua, you know how much love and attention they require.  It is not fair to have too many Chihuahua's because you can not give each and everyone of them the amount of attention they need and deserve. 

I found the most loving homes for Amigo and Star.  Someone to hold them, Someone to kiss them.  Someone to take them every where they go.  Someone who made them feel that they are the most important person in their lives.  But how can i convince Cookie of this?

Then it struck me.  I'll let Cookie say good-bye.  When the puppy left, I took Cookie out to the car, she seen her puppy in the car, we rolled down the window and let her kiss it good-bye.  Then I allowed Cookie to watch the car leave until it was no longer in sight.

IT WORKED

Cookie did not look for the puppy.  She did not cry.  She did not morn.  She went about her business.  After the last puppy left, she was not lonely.

Instead, Cookie started acting like the puppy she was.  Cookie, played.  Cookie had no more responsibilities.  All of the extra time Cookie now had became Pepe's.  They played together like they did before the puppies came.  They look and act so in Love.

Cookie plays dress up

She is always giving you kisses.

Pepe Loves having his wife back.

Empty nesters yes.

Lonely, I don't think soooo.
