Everyone poops. I know this. But do they have to poop on my floor?
For the last 6 weeks I have been the proud mother of 5 new puppies! Well, not the mother exactly, just the lactation specialist. Our Pug and a Yorky friend had “Porkies”. I was hesitant about the whole idea but my husband wanted to breed and sell some designer dogs. I learned that this means you take 2 pure bread dogs of different breeds. They become good friends and their posterity become “designer”. This is the newest thing in Dogland.
“They’ll take care of themselves.” My husband said. “You won’t have to do a thing.” This was his response when I expressed my non excitement about the whole thing. I gave into his puppy dream and some time later our home became a bit more crowded. It also became a bit more fun and frequented by many of the neighborhood children.
When the puppies were born, their mother, Lucy, wanted nothing to do with them. She had no interest in nursing or cleaning them. So, we had to lay her down and hold her there while the puppies nursed. This was my life for 5 weeks. Every few hours I fed the dogs and cleaned them. Now, don’t freak out. I didn’t clean them like a dog would. I’m not that much of a die hard!
As they got older and could walk, I found a new meaning to walking by faith. I found many little treats on my carpet by Braille. It’s pretty sad when you’re scared to walk in your own home for fear of stepping in poo-poo. I have a very strong testimony of
409 and bleach!
Lest you think it was all horrible, I must say that I love those adorable little puppies! They all have such fun personalities. It’s fun to play with them and hold them as they curl up to sleep. They are easier to interact with than the children. They don’t say mean things either. Yesterday, we sold 2 of them. When the first one left, I cried. It was so sad to lose one of the little ones I had raised thus far. We have only 2 left. I am glad and sad to see them leave the nest. Needless to say, I’ll be calling the carpet cleaners ASAP! But it’ll have to wait until I have a nap. I’m exhausted from the whole experience!

i feel your pain. hate it when mr. dub poops on the floor.
Getting a visual that I don't thind I comfortable with. Toes + poop = bad. Sounds like you're having fun. Mom wouldn't let me watch "porkies" 1 or 2 let alone 5. Lou Madsen of Lou's carpet cleaning does a nice job. FHP
Mark beat me to the Porkies joke. I guess that's where I get some of my humor.
I hear ya on being tired. Lactating always tuckers me out.
I can't believe you nursed all of those puppies. I don't know if I would have done that. I tend to fall on the side of putting them in a box and heading to the nearest K-mart parking lot.
Cute dog. Em did the same thing to me. She wanted to be "good friends" and that I wouldn't have to do a thing. Now we have three designer kids and no one wants to buy them!!!
Douglas do not take those kids them to K-Mart no matter what Em or Mom say.
Fris - Those puppies are the cutest things we've got to love and play with since Miss Dub went back to the mid-west last Christmas. Nanners has had so much fun driving me across the valley to visit and be licked and loved by five puppies then. And now it's so great to love one puppy plus a newly revitalized Lucy. It was alot of work for you but somebody has to fulfill Jamie's dreams.
