I think I need to save everything and everyone. What kind of character flaw is that, exactly?<BR/>My dh is more of a sucker for these puppies than I am.<BR/>I have a pack and play baby crib set up for them in our bedroom by the bed. Yet if DH goes to be first I can count on finding both of those little fuzz balls snuggled up as close to him as they can get when I turn in. I get to play bad cop and put them in their bed. If I'm lucky, they settle down and go to sleep for a while - after we do the "good puppy go potty outside" routine. If they don't want to sleep then it's a wrestling match in there with lots of puppy giggling going on. Big sigh.Cindy Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311224531297908704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-32885016653097065022007-08-16T15:11:00.000-05:002007-08-16T15:11:00.000-05:00We got our last dog about 24 years ago when the DH...We got our last dog about 24 years ago when the DH decided #1 son needed something to teach him responsibility. Uh... cleaning his room, helping with chores... those will teach him. Anyway, nobody had time for this puppy (a purebred Springer Spaniel named Molly) and she was a terror. I had a new baby taking up my time. So when we moved 2 years later we gave her to a family with a farm because otherwise she'd have had to go to a kennel for 6 months while we lived in an apartment (we were building a house).<BR/><BR/>I only gave in to the kitten because everyone said it would help keep snakes away, and we had woods behind our house. We're on our third cat now, but she's 14 and getting old and when she's gone, that's it.<BR/><BR/>#1 son wanted to get an iguana cause his best friend had one named Howard. Howard got lose and it took a few days to find him. #1 son's friend woke up one morning with Howard in his bed. I told #1 son "An iguana is out of the question cause I only sleep with one creepy thing and that's your dad." *grin*<BR/><BR/>They ARE cute puppies though, Cindy.<BR/><BR/>MarilynPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-34675639372770860472007-08-16T15:09:00.000-05:002007-08-16T15:09:00.000-05:00Lexie is GORGEOUS!

I had one myself two weeks ago.<BR/><BR/>And I always seem to have weaknesses whenever someone thinks I'm Superwoman. I have a sick need to prove it by taking on their task. When in reality if I just didn't *give in* everyone would know I'm perfectly ordinary and I would have a lot less to do.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992776098849029414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-60579877965326428502007-08-16T14:31:00.000-05:002007-08-16T14:31:00.000-05:00Lexie and Margaret are so cute.

I can understand the...Cindy: They are so darling! I can understand the surrender.<BR/><BR/>I, however, cannot excuse myself. Years ago I made the rule that we would not have pets that require food that is alive. Since then we've had frogs and newts and turtles, all of which we've fed live things to. Gross. But it has only gotten worse. Last year husband and Son 2 came home with a pair of bearded dragons. They're these big lizard things that "love human contact."<BR/><BR/>Um, no.<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness we have our wonderful almost 13-year-old lab who is sweet to pet and eats dry kibble.Christie Ridgwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036552271272402052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-5612555504889363932007-08-16T13:02:00.000-05:002007-08-16T13:02:00.000-05:00Cindy, your new babies are gorgeous! I don't know...Cindy, your new babies are gorgeous! I don't know whether to envy or commiserate with you. But I do know that the buckets of love you get will be worth whatever you have to put up with in the meantime.<BR/><BR/>In my family, I now have two new grandkitties. And honestly, they're cute as buttons and already doing their duty in the litter box. They're pretty well behaved and socialized. . . my son and his wife are in furry heaven.<BR/><BR/>And yes, you will get sleep in the near future. . . I promise. Just send hubby out into the yard with some tennis balls and tugging ropes and lock the doors behind him. Don't let him back in until the puppies can barely put one paw in front of the other. Wear those puppies out in the evening. Of course, that may mean they get used to the evening exercise romp. . .Betina Krahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379124690406269848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-63843581698828316482007-08-16T12:58:00.000-05:002007-08-16T12:58:00.000-05:00OMG they are so cute.

Almost makes me want to ... Nope, guess not.<BR/><BR/>One of the last time I was a sucker, er, had a weak moment was when my daughter was going through some tough stuff in high school, had just broken up with her boyfriend or something. She desperately wanted a kitten. I got the line, "I just want someone to love me!"<BR/><BR/>Hence, Riley. He's a great cat.<BR/><BR/>Have fun, enjoy them while they're so little, and sleep in the guest bedroom for a few nights while the DH does puppy duty!Helen Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680081195181747377noreply@blogger.com
