00:00I got a call that there was this very, very pregnant pity at a shelter.

00:19They said she was super friendly.

00:27One night, when all the shelter staff went home, Jalula decides that it's time to have

00:32her babies.

00:35Seven girls and a boy.

00:36You did a good job.

00:37Do you have the rest?

00:38You're such a good mama.

00:39Let me see you.

00:40Oh my goodness.

00:41She was way more shy than we expected.

00:42You're avoiding eye contact.

00:43She's so shy.

00:44What's up?

00:46You're okay, sweet girl.

00:52You're okay?

00:55Let's go.

00:58Let's go home.

01:02Let's go home.

01:06Let's go home.

01:10I turned my office into a nursery

01:23and let her get settled in.

01:35She fed them 24-7.

01:41I mean, it did not stop.

01:51They'd nurse and they'd crawl around for a minute and then just pass right back

01:58out.

02:10Okay, come on, come on.

02:26At first we tried to keep our dog Ruby and her separate, but they were so drawn

02:33to each other right away. It was almost like she needed Ruby to feel safe.

02:41Oh, you're so good, you both girls.

02:50The puppies started opening their eyes.

03:02And they quickly grew out of their whelping box.

03:11Ah, your teeth are so sharp!

03:14And they started to figure out their balance.

03:19What happened to you?

03:23And they were exploring non-stop.

03:29After a few weeks...

03:32Cho-cho.

03:33Hi, mama.

03:35Cho-cho.

03:36Julia wanted to be with us more than the puppies.

03:51She was so tired all the time.

04:07I'd have to carry her to bed.

04:13And we were exhausted too.

04:23Somehow we just kept adjusting.

04:27Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.

04:41I started taking one puppy a day on an errand.

04:48Just to get them used to the sights and sounds of the world.

04:54Honey, look at me.

05:00Let me tell you, cleaning them was a full-time job.

05:10I was so happy.

05:14I love spending our mornings with Cholula watching Disney movies.

05:34After about five weeks, finally Cholula was done nursing.

05:41It's dinner time!

05:47Get your dinner here, puppy dinner!

05:51Puppy dinner for Leeks!

05:55And this was a huge turning point for her.

05:59Because now she could just play with them and be a dog.

06:03Two in love can't make it.

06:07Take my heart, but please don't break it.

06:11Love was made for me and you.

06:17Love was made for me and you.

06:21Love was made for me and you.

06:25Love was made for me and you.

06:30Love was made for me and you.

06:38Eventually we knew they were all ready to find their forever homes.

06:44So much pain!

06:48But the hardest part was saying goodbye to Cholula.

06:52I was so proud of her.

06:56And she got the perfect family.

07:06And just like that she was gone.

07:16And that's the thing with fostering.

07:20Even though it never gets easier saying goodbye,

07:25I just can't wait to do it all again.

07:31Oh, Chochita!

07:35Oh!

07:39Oh!

07:43Oh!

07:47Chochita!

07:51Chochita!

07:55Chochita!

08:05You have to live up to that shirt!
