Simon supervised the process, and wanted to let you know of his view.
It is easy for people to brag about their siblings during special occasions. On this "not so special occasion" I want to brag about my little sister, Martha.
This afternoon Margie gave my nieces and nephews an official "personal shower" bath in the guest bathroom. Poor little kids, they were scared and shivering. They were dried with the Edemco dryer before Margie wrapped them in freshly warmed towels. She put them on the puppy heater next to their Snuggle Puppy. It didn't matter…even though they were dry, the air gave them little goosebumps. Martha went in their bed and snuggled close to them. She even let them nurse a bit…this was for comfort rather than nourishment because she doesn't have much there anymore. I know her eyes were crossing with every bite of those razor sharp puppy teeth, but she licked them on the muzzle and kept them from being afraid. Once they were asleep, she covered them with one of the blankets.
They are all awake now and looking like they are draped in feathers. Martha went back in there to make sure they were happy. She makes this big brother very proud.
PS…I don't know if anyone told you all, but Martha will also feed the kids solids. When the kids nibble at her muzzle, she will give up her own dinner to them (even after they have eaten). The humans think it is not pleasant, but it is what canines do for their young. Margie and Jerry are trying to keep Martha from doing this because she is looking awfully thin…but, you know these young girls and their waistlines! Martha said all that matters to her is that her children are healthy and happy like she is. Boy, am I proud of her!
