The Puppies...



Let me tell you my story. When I first got Rosie I was so excited I had this cute little purebred Maltese who would be so fun to breed...What was I thinking.

The first thing That really made me regret it was, on the night she had her puppies, Jeff was convinced that there was another puppy in her, and nothing was happening. When it had been 12 hours since her last pup I gave in and called the vet. Just to please Jeff.

The vet told me I could bring her in and have an ultrasound done, and that would be about $10,000,000 dollars, or I could just do a check myself. Hmmm...Check myself huh!? I can probably do that right. So The first thing to do is learn how to properly do a check. I get online to trusty google and find out exactly how to do a check. Ewwww gross! It's worse than I thought, I actually have to do a "real" check.Then I wonder, can I really do this? Yes I can.

So after searching my house for some Vaseline or KY jelly and finding nothing,I am forced to call my neighbors.

Let me ask you, how would you feel if at 10:00 at night you get a call from your crazy neighbor next door asking to borrow some Vaseline? Awkward! Well Megan was kind enough to give me some Vaseline that she actually didn't want back, I can't say I blame her.

Now I had to talk to myself for a little while before I could actually do the check, I was trying to convince myself it was for the best...
So I check...NOTHING. I was fuming mad, I had just done that for nothing. Not only had I scared the crap out of the poor neighbors, I have successfully traumatized myself and the dog.

The next thing is the sleepless first three nights, sleeping with one eye open because the dog is so stupid and keeps laying on her babies, duh that will cause them to die.

Number three reason the puppies are finally getting cute and the kids start getting attached and every day, sometimes twice a day one of your kids will ask " can we keep the puppies? they are so cute. Please, please, please."

And the final reason why this was a dumb idea is because they STINK! Yes, no matter how often I change the bedding or the puppy pads it doesn't matter, they're puppies and they pee and poop, that's all everyday.

So I tell you before you decide to breed your dog, make sure you are ready for the longest eight weeks of your life.

Just a real quick note, to anyone who wants I have two adorable, puppies left for sale. I am asking $300 a piece. They will stay fairly small around 5-7 pounds and they are precious.

They are adorable. Too bad I swore I'd never have a dog again. They are more work than kids! They are so dang cute though!

I'm with you that is gross, but at least it cost a lot less. Good luck selling your puppies and next year I'll make a really big deal about my birthday because 32 is really OLD!

They are so cute! Hopefully the boys won't be too sad when they are gone.

Oh boy they are cute but it is bad enough with 3 cats and 3 kids.
Hope you sell them Nicki. Lunch will be on you then. lol

Maybe you can start your own buisness of "checking" dogs and only charge $9,000,000 instead of $10,000,000. You could make a killing. Of course it would be the MOST disgusting way EVER to make a living but...

cute puppies, but no thanks. I can barely tolerate my own dog!!!
