Hello! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. I was distracted for a while in a good way. However, I could not pull my blog up for some reason, once I tried to come back to it. Actually yesterday, I just created a new site figuring, oh well, lets start over. Today I type the address in and boom… I see my original space! Super excited about the fact that I did not lose my older writings.
So let’s talk about what’s up. Our year has been a slight different the last few months since our son’s dogs decided to have a ‘play date’ on snow day in February. Yes, she got pregnant with puppies! Since the daddy ( one of son’s ) works off he couldn’t take her with him carrying all those babies. So Momma and Daddy had to nurse her into delivery April 15. She had 12 puppies! 8 girls and 4 boys! Unfortuntantly one of the boy puppies was stillborn so we had a proper burial and moved on to the other 11 awaiting our guidance.
Everyday was a new challenge and happy at the same time. Learning what steps needed to be done to help little momma learn her way with them. Time moved on and we were ‘stuck’ with all of them. Time came where we had to buy shots, groom them and find new homes for them… long story short 11 weeks later, all but two have new homes and are living their best lives. Then the other two… we had decided to keep one of the girls for our own and spent resources and time trying to find the last one her forever home. With many inquires and let downs… she was alone in the pin alot and something kept noticing that everytime she would play with our puppy, our puppy was happier and so was she. My husband looked at me on the 3rd day of trying to find a home and offered his thoughts to me.. yes we kept her too!
So it’s been over a week with these two babies and it’s been awesome. We don’t have a sad, needy puppy anymore! We have two girls growing up together and entertaining themselves. They are all about the idea more than we are! Now we have Layla Renee and Diamond Rose in our lives. 11 week old baby girls that keep us happy when the days seem blah. I am thankful for that playdate my son’s dogs had now more than everything. The momma has went off with her daddy and the father of the puppies are right down the road and gets to see them too. I think that makes good puppies to raise when they have their momma and daddy in their lives. We have been blessed with them.
The Spring has been busy with them and redesigning and rebuilding on our home. People in and out all the time, contractors always over helping with the bone building and myself getting to create an outdoor space i can relax in. Working from home has been wonderful with all the action going on, allowing me to be a part of it all. We still have tons to do and work on, but each day has it’s rewards in the little things for sure.
Another quick note before I have to go for now… the Spring also brought us a new grandbaby. Taylor Wayne was born May 17 and he is the spitting image of my son! He is perfect and for the second time, I am GiGi again. That is MY happy.
Have a good read, write out your words.. in short term tell me about what’s going on. Story time is coming soon on a piece of a chapter I am working on… stay tuned. 🙂
