RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
A year ago today, thirteen beautiful and unique puppies were born. Tessa went through 38.5 hours of labor and seventeen hours and one minute between the first puppy and the last puppy were born. It was just the beginning of an incredible adventure. Three months later, nine were happy and healthy in their forever homes and four stayed with me. A year later, they are all thriving and celebrating their birthday with their families.
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.
Christmas is my favorite season, but then again, it's the time I can go full-RaeAnna on everyone and blame it on my Christmas spirit. I can understand why it's a stressful and anxiety inducing time for so many.
