hooked on puppies

When did the puppies become more than just puppies?

I swore this would not happen.

I mean really, they are just dogs....

Okay so last night, I decide I have got to try and get

some uninterrupted sleep if possible.

I decided that although all three sleep all night if in the

bed with me, I thought that surely part of me waking

up so often at night has got to be because of the

fact that three pups are taking my bed space.

I would find myself when waking up checking on

them like I used to check on the babies when they were

young, are they covered, are they asleep, do they

need the bathroom?

BG is home and because Jake, the oldest, adores her

and must sleep with her when she is home

I know that he will be spending the night with BG.

That leaves Trixie, the middle pup who is way too

attached to me and the baby, Jude.

I tell BG that those two mongrels are sleeping in their kennel.

When I say kennel I must say it is more like a

room. It is a 6 foot by 6 foot gated area

in our garage that is heated and air conditioned.

They do not suffer for anything but human

contact when in the kennel.

I place them in there at about 8pm and lay to watch

the People's choice award with BG at my side.

Then comes a longing cry from the baby.

I tell BG, I won't be able to do it.

I won't be able to leave them in there.

I tried, really I did.

Yet by the time the TV went off and I settled down

to read my ereader......

yes, they were in the bed with me.

I am way too attached to these pups.

Like when did I start worrying about their

welfare like children....

I must say though I did have the best night of sleep

than I have had in a few weeks so I can't blame

them for my poor sleeping.

Thankfully, HOBL is finally coming home today

so I can pass the baton on to him...

If you think I am attached,

you should see HOBL and how he loves these pups.
