Is my mother dog's rough play with her 7-week puppies normal?

Question

Loki has 7 seven week pups, who are all weaned and quite active. Loki is extremely playful with them, and likes to pounce at them and sometimes pins them. She also plays tug a war and is always jumping around them. Is this normal for a mother dog? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 55 lbs

This is absolutely normal and a sign that both mom and puppies are healthy and happy. It sounds like Loki is enjoying the games with the pups, As long as she does not hurt them , enjoy the show while the pups are still with her.
