Hurtin' Puppies

This week has been the week they've all been waiting for.  "Yay!  We're going to the vet to get tutored!"

Yeah, these are some hurtin' puppies I got in the pen beside me.  You almost want to go pick them up and cuddle them, but then I remember what it was like for me.  So I just poured some rye into their water bowl, crumbled some Tylenol into their kibble, put an extra pair of underpants on each of them, and I'll leave them alone until they feel better.

So, boys, the bad news is, you don't got balls no more.  The good news:  seven out of eight of you are spoken for by families who seem loving and caring.  And the eighth is Juliet, who just hasn't had her incredible cuteness discovered yet.  We're talking hours, rather than days.

They're all slated to be gone on Saturday.  This won't be as easy as I'll make it look.

One last video.  Because puppies running and playing?  NEVER a waste of your time.

Poor little pups, I bet they're feeling delicate. Here's hoping they're back to normal soon.

Loved the video, as always. Their energy is infectious!

Wait..Are you saying that you have no Balls?

[The Kept Woman]

Damn cute.

Too bad I like my wood floors unscathed (but for sippy cup dents) and house free of hair (other than mine) otherwise I'd have a dog yesterday. I always thought I'd have one by now.

I LOVE the black dog that body slams the tan one about five/six seconds into the video...very cute!

Leaping and bounding puppies! I'm so glad we're not the only people who make reference to the Gary Larson cartoon where the dog mistakes "tutored" for "neutered". We always say "tutored". Think you might keep Juliet? Okay! Okay! Relax! I'm just asking.

Further update:
Caesar and Juliet went to the shelter today, so they could be more visible. A fellow volunteer just called me to tell me that she was in doing her thing at the shelter today and said that Juliet had a hold sign on her cage. In my experience, a hold sign on a puppy cage is ALWAYS a good thing. We will know in a few hours when Dad goes to pick them up from "daycare."

Hard to believe, but they just get cuter! I'm so glad they've found homes. You and Allie are heros, you know. Of course, I'll miss puppy posts. What will you make movies of this winter, Nils, hmmmm??

[eclectic]

Awwwww, that was so far from being a waste of my time that I had to watch it twice!! So sweet! But wow am I glad that the homes they're going to are not mine. ;)

[Squirl]

They are so adorable. I'm glad you've found homes for all, well except for Juliet. It's probably because they've been tutored. :)

I just showed this to Sam because I thought she'd enjoy it, but that was a big mistake. She also works at the shelter here and now wants to be a foster mom too. If she brings home one single pregnant momma.......@@@

I know you'll miss the lil' buggers. I will too, actually. Any chance of one more video? Or how about a video of Roxy on her daily run/walk?

[MrsDoF]

They seem so young to be 'tutored'. Our kittens had to wait until 4 months. I've never had a dog, so maybe different with them.

The videos are adorable, so busy they are.
I'm sure you'll be glad to have the house back to routine.

What!?!? My Juliet is left as the last one standing there all by herself as the teams are being picked? That is unacceptable. Clearly, the potential puppy parents are overwhelmed by her beauty and intellectual superiority and feel unworthy of adopting her.

[StampyDurst]

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. My favorite FarSide reference that no one ever seems to get is "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal."

[Allie]

Juliet is adopted! As of tomorrow, we will be puppy-free (except for Roxy, of course, who has been feeling horribly neglecting for the last two months!)!!!!!

[sometrouble]

ooh they are so cute! I want one!
