Puppies and Baby Sitting


Poor Molly, only one night with her pups and she already has that brow beaten, no sleep, haggard new mother look! Of course she was in labor well into the night. I'm not sure, but I think she had 7 puppies in all and 6 survived. I didn't get in with her so I couldn't be sure. We'll have to wait until Husband gets in and does a final count. But 6 Puppies would bring our total back up to 128. It's all about the numbers!

I'm baby sitting my niece and nephew this morning while their mom (Husband's sister-in-law) goes to school to talk to the principal. I guess my oldest niece is having some problems. Niece T is 4 and Only Nephew is 2. She loves coming to play and is very social. He screamed for 30 minutes solid the last time his mom left him here. I'm praying for calm this time. I'll let you know how it goes. We don't see them often and #1 Son is thrilled that Niece T is coming to his house.

Sounds like you should all take a vacation from birthing.

Okay, so do we need to find a Mary Poppins with animal expertise to babysit for your zoo while you all travel in May for a wedding weekend? Maybe the St. Louis Zoo would be willing to send a keeper to your place for a few days......
