00:00Hope and her six baby boys have been rescued from a near certain death at an LA animal shelter and

00:06Are safe in their new foster home

00:11Now the real work begins for Hope getting healthy and raising her family

00:18We're pulling for you girl

00:21I'm Sharon Osbourne and you're watching the litter

00:24The puppies are now two weeks old

00:30Hope and her boys are really settling into their new foster home at new leash on life

00:38It's quite the puppy paradise

00:41The facility spans 13 acres and includes kennels a variety of fenced and

00:48landscape dog parks a pool an

00:51Isolation trailer for dogs that need quarantine and plenty of fresh air and room to run

00:59Not to mention a loving attentive staff

01:09Since its inception new leash on life has rescued and placed over

01:145,000 dogs in permanent homes and they've helped stem the flow of unwanted pets by

01:19spaying and neutering

01:21thousands more

01:26This is the life a nice safe bungalow your own yard central air it sure beats a cold concrete shelter floor

01:38Now that she has a foster home hope can concentrate full-time on being a mum

01:44The little darlings will totally depend on her for the first few weeks

01:51So what really goes into raising pups

01:56First and foremost the pups need mum for food and plenty of it

02:02These little pitbulls are more like bottomless pitbulls

02:08Don't you guys ever get full and

02:10And at this age puppies need to eat every two hours

02:16Hope is still underweight, but is producing enough milk to feed her boys

02:21They will continue to nurse until they're about eight weeks old

02:26Now it's time for a cuddle

02:30It's awfully cute, but that's not why she does it

02:35She has to cuddle them

02:37She has to cuddle them their survival depends on it

02:47At this age puppies can't regulate their own body temperature, so their mum has to keep them warm

02:55And if they get too hot hope will place them on a cool spot on the floor

03:00Puppies this age can't potty on their own so mum needs to lick them in order to stimulate their bowels

03:06So they'll evacuate and by evacuate. I mean well, you know

03:14If you find this canine mothering behavior a bit revolting you'll love this next part a

03:21Protective new mama dog will also eat her puppies waste

03:25This is an instinct to destroy any smells that may otherwise attract potential predators

03:32At least hope cleans up after her dogs. That's more than I can say for some of my kids

03:40With lunch and potty break out of the way it's time to wash up

03:46And hope has the right tool for the job her tongue

03:50As we've seen a dog's tongue can travel to some unsavory places

03:55But hope's saliva is great for removing odors dirt and parasites from her puppies coat

04:04Lick lick lick

04:08Hope has quite a bit of responsibility lucky for her it all comes naturally

04:14Instincts are a great tool for the job

04:17Between hope and the people at new leash on life the puppies have everything they need

04:25Except names

04:27The pet collective launched a contest where the live cam viewers got to name the puppies

04:33Here's what they came up with Bruin

04:36Lenny

04:37Ralphie

04:39and

04:40Leeroy Sammy

04:43Munroe

04:44Great suggestions everyone

04:47Hope is doing a splendid job of mothering despite being well under her ideal weight

04:55It's hard to keep up when you're eating for seven

04:59But she'll get there. Thanks to the healthy diet provided by new leash on life

05:05Hope is a great mother

05:07But she'll get there. Thanks to the healthy diet provided by new leash on life

05:11Bon Appetit

05:18Meanwhile, let's watch the puppies try to tackle their next milestone walking

05:27It's not easy learning how to get around on those squishy little legs

05:32Puppies start walking about two to three weeks in age as they become stronger and more coordinated

05:38They'll get steadier on their paws

05:41By week four, they'll be walking pros

05:47How big will hopes boys get

05:52It depends

05:54No one knows who the father was and since each puppy can be from a different father

05:58These are most likely multiple mixed breeds

06:04Chances are they'll be around the same size as hope once they reach maturity

06:11It looks like Lenny is the current runt

06:16And roly-poly Ralphie is the biggest

06:19Often in the litter the runt gets more attention from the mum

06:23But anything can change as these puppies grow the runt can grow to be the biggest

06:28The biggest can become the runt a lot happens in these first weeks

06:36Don't grow up too quickly little puppies

06:39We've got a lot to cover and stop chewing on the camera. We don't cover chewing until episode six

06:45Keep being a great mum hope oops one more thing hopes belly rub

06:53Good girl, hope

06:57Next time on the litter

06:59The puppies are rushed to the vet for a case of puppy bogeys
