Just when things were getting easier with the sudden loss of our Bogey, we just found out that the mother of his last litter did not make it after she gave birth to 5 boys and 2 girls. I'm sad for the loss of the mother but I am terrified for the pups as well. Does anyone here have any experience raising newborn pups without the mother present? I realize how important it is to have the mother and siblings around a newborn for proper development in the early stages and I want to be prepared as much as possible. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Cheers!
