Wish me luck!

Yes, we are completely fucking nuts, and are totally irresponsible. It was bound to happen at some point. Usually, we are able to come to our sense before we jump. However, this time the guys were letting everyone pick up the puppies. Touch them, and love on them. It was also hot as hell, like 107 degrees. So, I’m sure that lead to the temporary lapse in judgment also.

So, it has been 9 days. Which have flown by really fast. I think a lot of it was because my sister was down. She’s gained over 2 pounds, and I think she looks fuller. I took her to the vet last week, and he said she looked about 5 weeks, and not 3 weeks. So, I don’t know how old she is. LOL!

She has went from sleeping all day long, minus about 15 minutes a day, to sleeping in 2-4 hour increments, with boughts of being awake for 15 minutes- 1 hour.

Right now she is “nursing” on Betty. Betty’s boobies at the bottom seem to look big, like real boobs! I don’t know if she is lactating or what? Annabelle keeps going for the same nipple, and it’s all pink/red and sore looking. Yet, Betty just lays there like a new Mama…letting the baby suck away.

Annabelle pees more then anything I have ever seen in all my life. More pee then you would think could come out of her little body. It’s crazy. It’s getting kind of annoying too. today, I need to sanitize my floor, because she has pee’d and pooped everywhere. Oh there she went to piss some more on the carpet right now.. Mmmm. Great!

She’s pee’d on my bed twice. The last time was this morning. Jeremy just washed the bedding yesterday. Great. I have those god awful pee pads all over my house.

She is drinking formula, that costs $20 a can for. She uses one of those every 4 days. Got her some wet food, and dry food to soak in water. she seems to like those both also.

Last night, I made her this little bed out of those plastic shoe boxes that you organize with. I put her blankie in there, along with a wee wee pad…just in case she pee’d on the way to get the kids. I thought the box would be more sturdy, and less movement for her. She threw up all over my shirt and the side of my jeans. I didn’t realize until it felt really warm in those spots and it smelled of formula really strongly. It was formula mixed with wet food. Mmmm. It didn’t really phase me. I looked in the box, and apparently it saved me. There was about a cup of vomit in the box. I just got a little bit of it on me.

It’s sorta like having a baby, except this baby pisses and shits all over your floor. I thought I was getting when she had to pee. Like whenever she woke up, she was going to pee. Now, she does this huge pee where ever, but if I’m lucky it will be half on the wee wee pad, and half off. Half the clean up! Yay! Then does these little pee’s all over the place. It’s driving me nuts!

She’s really cute though!!! HaHa!

I also am not loving the fact that I have to time every single thing around when she sleeps, and eats. Oh, she is going to want to eat in 1 1/2 hours, we gotta wait! Even for bed!

The past 2 nights, I have kept the door to the crate off, so she can pee on the pee pad outside the crate…rather then in her bed. Yesterday, she woke up, and pee’d on the carpet by the pee pad. Then cried, until I woke up and got her. This morning, I wake up, and I don’t see her anywhere. I am freaking out trying find her in my half sleeping stupor. I looking under the kids beds, behind doors, She’s nowhere. There was a comforter on the couch from when my sister stayed. The dogs have pushed it practically all on the floor. I’m calling Annabelle’s name. Betty come running out of the bedroom, and starts sniffing. Sure enough, 30 seconds later she has sniffed her out in the comforter completely covered.

As cute as puppies are, they sure are a lot of work. More work then I want to do. I think this is going to be the last puppy I ever get though. At least this young. When we got Betty, she was already 3 months old, and while a puppy…she ate regular food, went potty outside, and was just a lot easier!

So, I call and a lady answers. I tell her my name and that I have her dog, and what street I live on. She’s like “Oh, okay. Well I have to drop a kid off at school and I’ll be over in 15 minutes.” Like so non-chalant.

Then she comes to get Big Dog, and tells me that she jumps over the fence all the time. They’ve tried to keep her int he yard with her leash, tie downs, and shock collars…but nothing works. Then pulls out a business card and flyer and tells me she runs a daycare, so if I know anybody that needs babysitting she has 3 open spaces left.

Then as she is walking to the car, says “I hope she wasn’t much trouble!”

Man! I’d be falling all over myself thanking them for keeping my dog safe over night and finding me. No thank you. All I get is her self promotion. Like I would recommend her for babysitting when she can’t even keep her dog in the yard, doesn’t even seem to care her dog is gone, uses shock collars and doesn’t even say thank you. I mean we could have called the animal sheltr to come pick her up and she would have had to pay over $100 to get her dog out.

Rude, man! Whatever though we did it for the dog.

Then she proceeded to eat two huge bowls of dog food that I just filled…and a whole bowl of water. I think she is one of those dogs that just eat and eat and eat.

She is a chocolate lab, and is HUGE…with this skinny narrow face. She is making Betty look like this little mini dog with a major block head. She has the sweetest eyes, and our dog Chillee is being a real bitch to her. I think because Chillee is an old cranky bitch and doesn’t need another female invading her territory. She followed us tot he bedroom last night and tried to come on the bed when I called her, and then backed down with growling chillee and Jeremy saying No! Ha! So she slept on our floor. We don’t know her name so we are calling her “Big Dog”, and she seems to like it. LOL! She follows us everywhere.

Hopefully we can find her owners today. Chillee is not digging another dog in the house at all…and this house is a little to small for 3 dogs…especially a beast like Big Dog.

Then Chase has a baseball game, and also his baseball party on Saturday. I really want to go with Jeremy though. I looooove road trips.

Should I just go and miss Chase’s baseball game and party & torture Betty with 12 hours in a car?

I’ve never known her to be a “lap dog”. She is usually very high energy. If you ask her “Where’s your ball?” or “Get your ball!” She will run around my brother’s little studio apartment looking in every nook and cranny for her ball, until she finds it. However, since she has been here, she has been super duper lap dog. She wants to sit in my lap all day long.

She imediately decided that she was comfortable under one of the dinign room chairs. So, I went and got a little blanket, folded it up, and placed it in that spot for her to lay on. She then dug around and made a little nest…and slept there all night long.

Yesterday, I went and got her a little dog bed, that is velour and comfy. So, she slept there last night. I wanted to make her stay her as comfortable as possible.

I am a complete and utter dog lover. I love everythig about them, except the poop and gross stuff…but I tend to like them better then most people. I love all dogs, big, small. Whatever. So, I don’t mind watching my brother’s dog. Although it’s a total pain in the ass. I just tend to worry about her being sad or scared. It seriously makes me feel bad for her. So, that is the biggest pain in the ass of it all. Plus, she just kind of looks sad.

Maury is almost human like. when you talk to her, she looks at you like she understands everything you are saying to her. She looks at you and it’s liek she’s telling you something. Her mouth, opens a little bit, and displays a bottom row of white teeth. She will howl with you. I LOVE THAT! If you have food, she will stand on her back legs, like a human. I want to make her a pink tutu. He chest has thick black hair on it, but her belly is bare, and she practically has real breasts. HaHa! She has no tail, and hair on her back legs that fan out across her back end. Soft pointy ears, and feet that look like little stars, that she likes you to rub. She will give you a kiss if you ask, but only one. Not like Betty, who will rape your face.

My baby Betty is the jealous type. She get’s jealous when you pet Chillee, our older dog. So, she was having issues last night…with Maury sitting in my lap all night. Plus, I got Betty & Maury these little dog, dog toys. Betty was running up and grabbing every toy Maury had dropped. I won’t let Betty have Maury’s little rabbit stuffed toy, and she was totally giving me the hairy eyeball. She wouldn’t even kiss me.

I was sure I was going to have to put all the toys up, but after a nights rest, I think they are better today.
