11… Devastating Things About Raising Puppies
Raising thirteen puppies has been one of the most demanding experiences of my life. It has taken a toll on my body and my mind. I wouldn't trade these past two months for anything in the world; even though, I knew from the moment we decided to keep a very pregnant Tess, it would break my heart into thirteen pieces.
