Original caption

Cactus has really taken a liking to Cowboy Unfortunately, Cowboy’s mama Honey has heartworms and is currently undergoing treatment. Because of that, she can’t nurse right now and has to be kept separate from the puppies while she’s on her medication. And somehow, Cactus seems to understand that Cowboy could use a little extra love. He’s really stepped up and has been spending more and more time with him 🥹 I’ll be posting an update video soon on Honey, all of the other pups, and everything that’s been going on.
