Last week I placed three wonderful puppies in less than a week. When the blurr leaves my brain, I will post pictures of them. Tonight I sat down before bed to post pictures of Lady and Lego, but I fell asleep.
Hold on, they are outside shivering waiting to come back in from a potty break. By the way, I was too late and just used up the last of my paper towels. Just a few days ago, I had a case of paper towels.
2:00 AM
Where was I? Oh yea....Check out Lady above with my daughter. Isn't she too adorable? Adopt her please, tell all your friends. Please help get them out of my house before my kid comes back from visiting her father. My youngest daughter has adopted Lady as hers. The last puppy she cared for, Birdey (oh wait, I did already post that litter. Guess I have a bad bad case of "new Mommy brain") was a trauma and a half to give up. She was so sad when she passed the pup to the new owners, that the woman started to mist up and nearly gave her back. I was like Hellz "NO!!! we have had her less than a week, I do this to my kids on a regular much too regular basis.

The little angels are fast asleep again. Most likely I will see them again by 5:30, which is fine because I have to take my oldest son to visit a school in Massachusetts and we need to be on the road by 7:00 the latest. And guess what, Lady and Lego have to come. Even though there will be people home, no one else can care for them. Young teenagers do not understand "THE PUPPIES JUST WOKE UP, OMG THEY NEED TO GO OUT. RIGHT. NOW " and not at the end of that cool song on You Tube you were singing.
Crap, I am out of paper towels.
*contemplates getting a fast food breakfast and a TON of napkins before we hit the road*

And this my friends is little Lego. Be still my heart. The day I brought these pups home to foster, my camera decided it could not take one more photo of cute and died a quiet death. All this extreme cute has been captured by my Blackberry. It is hard to see his adorable speckles, but they are there, and they call to me.
They say "please adopt me and look at me every day, you won't regret it."

Think of me today, traveling with 2 pups in the car for 3 hours each way. With potty breaks, that will take who knows how long. It is supposed to be warm and I will be sure to leave the tour a few times to warm up my car and take them out. If any one reads this and thinks they can handle them for a day, you will get a lot of karma coins. I have been saying all along that having fosters in my house gives me a fresh perspective on what my training clients go through. Aside from being tied down ( DOI!) , here is a view that I hadn't thought about , or read about.
Puppies eat snow and then puppies have to pee. A lot. like all the freaking time, and there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe if I only had 1, but with two of them, water scedules are at a 100 percent fail and forgetaboutit. There is no spacing out and controling water for these two. Especially not at 2:11 AM
By the way, I had a third litter mate for 2 nights, but I realized quickly that even I wasn't that crazy. He slept even less than his brother and sister and ZOMG is he adorable.
Meet Larz.

He pushed my mental health-o- meter near over the top. When I really got thinking about things, I came to the conclusion that there was no way I could socialize, and train 3 pups and that really at 10 active weeks, 2 pups was pushing it. In case you didn't already know, puppies need to be seperated and they need to develop their own personalites and brave. When litter mates are together, one will be the go-er and the other will be the go -to. One pup takes the lead and the other will follow. It is a MAJOR amount of work to have two littermates and do it right. At ten weeks they can still be together, but if they are do not adopted soon, I will have to seperate for a good portion of 24 hours. Each pup currently gets alone time while I take the other one out and about every day. We are doing our best to do the best by these two pups. They have been on many different surfaces and met lots of people, working hard on the house training thang and learning basic cues and manners. Little Lady came to Portland Stage this AM were my daughters are rehearsing for Holes . We meet a lot of freaky people on Forrst ave, and cleared meet freaky people clear off her socializtion check list this morning.
So for those of you counting. We have 2 puppies and two foster dogs Beck and Stella Luna from
Me and the kids may need therapy if when we place Beck, and StellaLuna leaves a week from Friday for a trial wekeend. Wish her luck.
Please share. I need some peace and sleep back.
Tell everyone you know.
Do it!

Those puppies are way too cute. Drop one off with my daughter in Mass, and she'll probably figure out a way to hide it in her dorm room.
They are loves, both of them. The other pups have moved into a foster home and are doing great. I ended up leaving them home and came home to a kid who let them out twice and a clean crate. :) It is now 4:20am friday, and they haven't woken me up yet. Knock on wood, hoping we are over the worst of the potty training nights.
