AWAY IN THE MANGER

Well, not exactly a manger but, some new babes were born yesterday. Our eight month old puppy Tigger, has some new brothers and sisters. His Mother Lucy, with some help from his Father Nikie, has had their second litter. At last check, there were nine new puppys who made it into the world.

My Husband even got to lend her a hand. Her owners, were busy with their Auto Mechanic customers in their shop. Lucy is very familar with my Husband. He has known both Nickie and Lucy, since they themselves were puppys. He was even there shortly, after our beloved Tigger was born. It is always good for the Mail Man to get to know, and become friends with, all dogs on his route. Omar their owner said, "now your wife wants a female right?" My husband reluctently said "yes."

I have been bugging my Husband to tears about getting another puppy since Maverick's death. For Heavens sake no! I am not replacing the best dog that anyone could ever ask for. That could never happen. However, I thought that since, we have has such good luck with Tigger, why not get another good puppy from his Mother. He has repeatedly said, "no, we don't need another dog, two is enough." Well, that's beside the point. What we need, and what I want are two different things. I always get my way. I have even decided what to name her, Noell. Since she was born three days before Christmas. I'm guessing that, she will be ready to come live with us around March or so.

My 36th Birthday just happens to be March 11th. What a wonderful Birthday present. After all, I got Winston our Bulldog for my 34th Birthday. Unless you've already guess, yes there is a direct correlation between wanting more puppys, and just having a Hysterectomy. The need to take care of new babys is still there. Anyway, my Husband is to call Omar today, to get the final count on all of the puppys that were born after he left yesterday. Keep your fingers crossed for me, so that I can get my wish. Se ya'll, stay warm.
