00:00When I walked in she was kind of sitting up but you could tell just so weak. I was just heartbroken.
00:08I got a message about a pregnant mom and babies. Turns out it's only about five minutes away so
00:12I'm rushing there right now to see if I can help. The workers at the shop got me a little box for
00:17the puppies. This poor mama her eyes were barely open. She was not happy with me. Luckily it was
00:23only about 20 minutes. I'm sorry mama I'm gonna get them back I promise. For the safety of that
00:29car ride they had to be separated. She's just a very sweet attentive mom for them. Come on mama,
00:35come on. Okay let's go back to the babies. Hey hey come here. Hey mama let's go find your babies.
00:46Oh my goodness look how dirty you are.
00:51Because they had fleas I had to get the medicine and I had to bathe her
00:56right away and so I was like all right let's see how this goes.
01:00She loved the bath. She actually was so sweet the entire time.
01:04Bathing her I was like gosh how long has this poor mama been on the streets.
01:10I would weigh them and then show them to her and give them back to her kind of like you know
01:14I'm just helping them but they're yours. We bonded a lot over all of that and I
01:20definitely earned her trust with the babies. Luckily everybody was gaining weight.
01:27It was a very stressful first week because I constantly would just check the camera.
01:38Rover. Hi Rover. Did your eyes open today? They're seven weeks now.
01:48Now she kind of looks at me like okay I'm over it. I want to hang out with you now.
01:52How happy is mama? Really who I saw blossom to is mama. She just looked defeated and sad
02:01and now she's just so happy. People are her favorite. Anywhere I go she wants to be.
02:08Oh sorry I need to pay the belly rub tax. I start to see mom's personality come out in puppies
02:13around this age now and she loves to get her belly rubs. Anytime we go outside I've got to
02:17pay the belly rub tax and now the puppies have started rolling onto their backs too for belly
02:23rubs and so it's so cute. Does someone need belly rub? There's a good boy. She's the best mom. She
02:33loves her babies but she's going to be ready for them to find homes
02:39and she's going to be ready to get her home herself and be a puppy again too.
