Got to love a mother's devotion!

I'm in awe of Luna. This is her first litter and she's just brilliant. I waited until she was a good age (3 years) before putting her in pup and I am delighted I did. She was mature enough to have those motherly instincts readily at hand and I'm delighted with how she has taken to being a mum. Believe me, I get tired just looking at how much hard work nine pups are!!! See what I mean....

Mum steps into the puppy box and all hell breaks loose!!

Making room for nine hungry youngsters

She's so calm and they're totally bonkers!

Settling down - at last

And there she lies with nine pups feeding away. Good job mum!!
