Truths and Half Truths

Beyond Cute

OK, I'm sorry.  It's just painfully cute to watch them frolic and gambol about.  They are miles past adorable and it breaks my heart that they'll only be here one more week.  You know, until it comes time to clean their pen ... then I'm okay with their leaving.

But tell me you don't want to scoop them up and rub your nose against theirs and smell the puppy breath and hear their teeny, adorable, puppy growls.  No??  Then you are dead to me.

Oh, and just so we're clear?  This is my office, people.  I work in this space.  With this happening around me.

Yay! Mommy's Home! (for CK)

You know when you've been out, say, playing fetch with a ball or oh, I dunno, at a conference in Miami, and it's all sorts interesting and amusing and all you have to worry about is yourself and how much fun you're having ...

... but you kinda miss the kids, and can't wait to get home ...

... and when you do, the greeting you get is so enthusiastic and everybody's happy and it's noisy and frenetic and "Yay!  Mommy's home!" and they all want a lil piece of you and it's feels soooo good ... ?

Isn't that a great feeling?  I mean, look at Ty's expression at the end of the video.

If that ain't joy, I dunno what it is ...

... except maybe "Oh, fuck, I forgot what it was like."

Heeheeheehee.

More Puppy Video

I promise this won't become an everyday thing, but today Puck got introduced to the concept of "wet grass".  Here he is with Allie and mom Ty.

Juliet will be ready to be picked up later today, and according to the receptionist at the Vet College "she also just may have found a home out of all this"  (vet college students are encouraged to take pets during their time at school).

Incidently, those of you who are worried about Ty's prospects will feel better about the fact we have quite a lineup of people keen to come see her.  And she's such a great dog I can't believe it won't work out for her.

Fostering the puppies has been fun and gets more comical every day (ohh, their little puppy growls as they play fight?  Melt your heart!).  But it'll be good when it's done and while I send out my love to all you people who were so sure we were going to end up with a newcomer to our house, we're all agreed that it will be enough to find them good homes elsewhere.

In any event - more puppy cuteness:

 

Puppies on Video!

For Torrie, who demanded puppy cuteness on video.  This weekend, Allison started the weaning process.  You can tell that the puppies are very reluctant to sample this "solid food" crap.

Update on Juliet:  She's doing exceptionally well, pneumonia seems cleared up, she's eating like a pig, and the doc said they'd call us sometime Sunday to come get her and reunite her with the rest.  How great is that???

Again, thank you all for your good vibes.  You may now return your vibes to their regular places.
