Of Snow and Puppies

Yes, it finally snowed.

A mere dusting? Perhaps. Quick melting? Of course. But the snow fell often enough to get the kids outside and the snow gear soaking wet from the wet grass.

Oh. And one of our neighbor's dogs had puppies. 11 of them.

11!!

Apparently they are planning on selling them for $800 apiece. (Good luck with that.)

Interesting story. The dog belongs to the son of our neighbors. He and his wife, who just had a baby last summer, are living with the 'rents for now while they save money to buy a house. But that's not the interesting part.

Before they moved in, one of the conditions was supposed to be that they have their female puppy spayed. Looks like that didn't happen, and they're breeding the dog instead. I do know that as long as they live there, the puppies will have a good environment; it's a household of pets all of which are loved and cared for.

But 11? As my husband remarked, "Can you imagine 11 puppies peeing and pooping?"

One thing is for certain: We aren't taking one of them. For now, one dog is plenty!

But the snow is beautiful.
