Daily Doody

Remember the movie, "The Blob" It was about an alien life form that crashes to earth and immediately starts sliding and sliming all over the place and eating everything in it's path. It continues to slowly roll about this small town eating people. Nobody can seem to outrun the slow moving ball of red goo and btw it's growing huge. Well every time I see this movie.... I find myself screaming at the tv.... "RUN YOU IDIOT!!!" "It's a Slow Creeping Glob of Slime.... just get in a car and Drive AWAY" I just can't figure out how it can catch anyone who's not stuck in cement. So, now I must explain something I discovered these last couple weeks. The puppies know the secret of the Blobs speed. I swear, they can be 3 ft from the door and before I can get through it and get it shut.... they're half way through it themselves. These pups can barely walk a straight line. They trip over air... AND those big ears! They can barely get over a rug, but open that door and mysteriously they grow super powers that propel them through it. I just can't figure it out. I guess I'll think twice before I yell at that movie again. My Life has become a continuous cycle of puppy poop!! I mean, I DO manage to get other things done during the day, but I do them watching the clock. Since I keep the puppies kenneled, I have to be there ever 2 -3 hrs to let them out and go through the whole process again of mopping their pee... giving them the "correct" amount of food. I say "correct" amount, because if I don't give them enough... they REALLY complain. Then the fun begins..... I have to immediately swipe up the poop or they're guaranteed to walk right through it. It's not so bad I guess. Who else can say their hardest job each day is taking care of puppies!!!! This sunday they'll be 6 weeks old. Just 6 tiny weeks old and already they're blowing me away with what they've learned. T-Bone.... below, has learned to sit up and beg.... well he's trying.

Usually he just goes all the way over, but he'll get it!!

If I tap my ring on their feed pans...... it's like callin the cows in from pasture. Now you'd have to know what that meant to fully get the picture. They stop doing whatever it was they were doing and come-a-runnin!!! It's gonna be so hard to let these little babes go... I just know it. They've really become a large part of my life and they act as if they know me. When they first came here to live... they would just eat and sleep. Now, they're starting to sleep eat and PLAY!!!! Yes, when all the pooping and peeing and eating is done.... they're ready for some fun!! I feel a little ridiculous at times, but combined they all have so much bubbly energy, that I can't help but just laugh. What terrific therapy!!! Miss Bella, below, is learning how to howl. Of course I missed it in the shot, but you can see a little of her mouth. It was almost like she was giving lessons. I promise I'll write about something other than puppies soon. Do older dogs count as something different?? LOL!! The holidays are coming and so are friends and family, so I'm guaranteed at least one or two interesting things to happen.
