This reminded me of when I brought home a rescue that surprised us with 7 puppies a month later. Our older lab would just look at her like, “what a mess you’ve made of your life.”

One of your dogs got pregnant. For the first month, she would come racing if she heard a whimper, cleaned them, doted on them.

And then they learned to walk and opened their eyes. Put them to bed one night in the bathroom (nursing box, food, water, etc.). And we heard whimpering. Checked up on them and mom was sitting beside the box, and the four puppies were trying to get to her.

Mom just looked up at us and you could tell she was saying "Can I have a night off? Can I? Can I please have a break?"
