Every mom knows how much energy babies have and how hard it can be to get them to nap. Pretty much all babies are like this - even dog babies.
A German shepherd mama with EIGHT puppies was probably feeling a little overwhelmed because, come on now, eight kids. Oof. Maybe to try and ensure that she'd have a little peace and quiet later on, this adorable mama tried to tire her babies out, and the way she did it is probably the cutest thing anyone has ever seen.
Mama and her babies are playing outside, and as they run toward her ...
... she runs away from them.
These babies LOVE their mama, of course, and so they keep on chasing her.
This sneaky mom just keeps running circles around and around her babies. Every time they finally make it close to her ...
... she runs away again. You can almost hear the puppies yelling, "Wait, mom, mom, mom, MOM!"
Fingers crossed that this mom's tactics worked and she has some sleepy puppies on her hands later on. If her parenting strategies are always this adorable, then she's basically the best mom ever.
