Dear Sophie, Mick and Hank - the puppies are coming, the puppies are coming. You will behave!
You were puppies. I hope you never lose your inner puppy. You were once in need of a forever home. You can relate. Sophie, you dear, are still looking for one and it will come. You know how things work around here, I need you to be role models for the little ruffians who are taking up residence this morning.
Not to point any fingers, or name names, but Hank (yes, you Hank) there will be no grumbling at the newbies. That is why you get to go for a meet n greet with them at Petco. You get to be first at sniffing their little butts. I expect you to be a complete gentleman. And, I expect you to be enthusiastic to Mick and Sophie about how great this is going to be! Mick, I know you will play Mr. Invisible and hide out in the bedroom. Sophie - if you ever had puppies, or have a maternal side it's time to shine.
However it plays out, it's going to get interesting. Plus it will make a great "remember the Christmas we had puppies" story. Ya, the Christmas we were really crazy, or optimistic, or so tired we couldn't see straight. Or, more than likely, all of the above.
It is the least we can do. Somebody out there is waiting for a new best friend, the least we can do is provide some temporary shelter for them. Sort of like a stable long ago and a newborn taking refuge there. Yes, Reno always loves when I make analogies about our home being a stable. There are some similarities.
Temporary shelters and taking puppy steps to a forever home. We are just part of the chain of volunteers who are making this happen for these pups. Lucky puppies, and lucky us for being able to help love them to a better life.
Life with dogs. A little humor, a dash of play, a seed of faith, and of course, some dog fur.

Since I read that you are taking on a couple puppies, all I can think is: what a couple of lucky pups. I can't wait to hear their new stories.
