Puppies - 1 wk update


We have learned much this past week about the joys of having puppies. Mind you, we only have two 9 wk olds that we are riding herd over.

We're learned it is an awesome thing to play so hard you have to pee. We've learned there is always more work involved in a project than one might expect, but that the joys outnumber the work. I've learned that Reno is the Puppy Meister. His sense of play is as active as a 9 wk old puppy - and I mean that in the nicest possible way!

I have a greater appreciation for the comfort of belonging to a pack, the pleasure of spooning, and that ears were made to be chewed on. Literally and figuratively. That being said, Junior's ears should be way longer than Queenie's.

While it's a riot to watch (and hear) them play, the silence when they sleep is golden. We should all sleep as well as a tired puppy. We should eat with as much gusto as a puppy and relieve ourselves of .....stresses....as often as they potty. Bet you wondered where I was going with that!

Now, in all honesty, we thought there would be more times the puppies would sleep curled up in our arms. Hahahahaaaaaa.....okay, so that's not happening. Maybe we dreamed up that fantasy somewhere.

For kicks and giggles we had the third pointador puppy who came to Omaha over for a play date yesterday. Perhaps you heard all the ruckus? They had a ball rolling, nipping, growling, barking, running, piddling. It was a sight to behold.

So I don't know who's craziest here. Us, or the puppies? Either way it's been fun, crazy, and full of activity. Life is just like that. And then we nap.
