Ok, people. There are only 3 adorable puppies left. Your perfect dog could be, right this minute, sound asleep in my laundry room. Act now. For a limited time only – puppies!

Do you ever have those moments of serenity? Wishing you could freeze time and live out your days in this configuration of people and events and animals? I had one of those tonight. My family is pretty settled right now in their school/sports/work lives. I’m having an adventure that I never thought I’d get to have. It’s good here.

Today, we took Charlie and Momster to a fenced-in field. They had a blast! Momster had her nose to the ground or in the air the whole time. She leaped through the tall grass and her little stump of a tail was in constant motion. She was so happy to be off-leash and free.

Little Emma was just too wound up to sleep. She was keeping everyone else awake with her insistence that they could surely play for just one more hour.

The pups were on their best behavior today. Those adopted, spent the day at the animal shelter with their new families. The other 4 went to an adoption event at Petco. Einstein got adopted!

My whole family is sick. My husband has pneumonia; my kids have bad colds; I’ve got some version of some gunky thing. But life goes on as it must with animals. I literally slogged through the day today, from one chore to the next.

Today, the girls went to the shelter. It looks like 2 of the 4 are spoken for! Nice.

I dropped the boys off at the shelter today for some meet and greet time. I hung around because there were 2 families interested in adopting. One family had their eye on Chief. We talked, the puppies played and pooped. We talked some more.

I can finally admit that sometime last week, I was ready to give up. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t pick up another pile of poop, let alone 11 piles. I couldn’t let my ankles be bitten.

The pups spent the day at the shelter, getting lots of attention from different folks. So good for them.

They keep growing! How does that happen? They got new collars on Friday and some are already too tight. Their personalities are starting to become more recognizable too. Chief is big and lazy and happy.
