Friday, May 05, 2006Puppies  As per yesterday's flashback, our dog (alias Ginger) went into labor about 2:00am and delivered her first pup about 5:00am. I am a city girl and had never, ever assisted in anything like that before. The lady across the street from us lived on a farm once. In my eyes, that made her an expert. I woke my daughter up, sent her across the street in the wee hours and had her wake up the neighbor.Three hours later we were the proud owners of five border collie puppies--three red-and-white, two black-and-white. (The dad was evidently black-and-white.) The kids were begging me to let them keep one. I stayed strong until they opened their eyes. Then, it was all over. Monday: The puppies open their eyes.

Awwww! They're so cute. Do I sense a not-so-cute tale of house-breaking coming up, though?

Looks like Miz Dee got attached to those babies reeeeeaaaal quickly!

Hey. I said "no." For a whole two weeks. But boy was it hard. They were sooooo precious.
The black one on the left is the one we ended up keeping, but more on that next week.
Meg: My floors still haven't recovered.

The puppies are so cute. Your children must be thrilled that you are keeping one. However, I'm a kitty person and they are soooo much easier to housebreak! lol

Welcome, Carol. I had cats growing up, but my son swells up like a balloon around them. So, we've never been able to have them. :-(
