Puppies

As most of you know, Daphne gave birth to 5 puppies about 9 weeks ago. The activity around this house lately has been nothing short of insane. We did find homes for two of the pups pretty early on, but we still had three running around the house. Of course, we all fell in love with them! Since we were having such a difficult time finding good homes, we decided we were ment to keep them all. Five dogs is a lot of dogs, but what fun it was!! Last night I received a phone call stating that my mother-in-law's old neighbor was wanting a male puppy for her grandson. We gathered Happy up (yes the pups name was Happy, Ethan named him) and Jeromy headed off. It really is for the best. Then we got another call from my mother-in-law saying her neighbor's cousin would like a female pup. That's when I started crying. How could I give up these beautiful dogs whom I love and adore? I knew it had to be done, but I wasn't very happy about it. I called Jeromy and told him to come back and get Lily. He headed home and I sat on the back deck and balled like a baby. I miss them terribly....I guess I got way too attached. The boys handled it much better then I did. We are keeping one of the puppies, Lulu...she is a cutie and we all adore her. She's a really good dog and loves to hang out in her cage and sleep or cuddle with the boys and watch TV. Shaggy and Daphne love her too so she was a good choice. I am calling and making an appt for Daphne to get spayed and then I will have Shaggy done. I don't want to go thru more puppies again...I definitely fell for them....way too hard!
