What I dread is if they both have medium- large litters; trying to keep the areas clean and having enough time to properly socialize and handle the pups. With 2 litters I could easily have 16 - 24 pups to take care of! That's a lot of poop and puddles... lol I'd love to be able to borrow help for that time frame. Hopefully if I put out the word that I need help cuddling and playing with puppies I'll be able to get some volunteers.

I'm sure you'll get help. It sounds like a wonderful community. Maybe you can get some high school kids after school for a few dollars also.

If I lived nearby, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
