Puppies...

So...let me give you a little background story so you can better understand the Whole Story... Our good friends the Zufelt have a purebred yellow lab. Tyler got it for the girls last Feb for Valentines day...Chesney is his name...this dog is amazing! He has even survide parvo! Anyway moving on...Chesneys moms name is Daisy...a few months ago the Zufelts got a call from Daisys owners saying that Daisy was pregnant again with purebred puppies but that they could no longer keep Daisy and asked if they wanted her. So...not only were the Zufelts excited for puppies...the puppies could each be sold for around at least $300! But....Daisy was not due till January. Our spoiled friends booked themselves a trip to Disneyland for the first week in Dec. They were planning on leaving Tuesday afternoon...Last sunday, two days before they are planning on leaving...Daisy has her puppies!!! 8 to be exact. Two of them had already died before Tyler could get to them sunday...(again they were not expection to have puppies till January)This is when my story begins.....They called us Sunday night and asked if we could puppy sit for them. Being the amazing friends that we are of course we said yes. They had a lot going on on the Monday before they left so they bought them to our home late Sunday night. We set up a nice dog house with blankets and food in the garage. We started with six puppies that night. There was one little one...the runt...that we knew wasnt going to make it through the night...we were feeding it with an eye dropper and everything...and Tuesday morning...well...she didnt make it. Later that day I had been checking on them about every two hours....letting Daisy outside and what not...To make a long story short...Daisy sat on two more puppies killing them as well...I promise this story is NOT all about dead puppies.....Any way....All tho I had to get up and first thing in the morning to let the dog outside, make sure she had food and water and put up with shoveling poop out of my garage...holding them cute puppies and seeing my childrens faces light up everytime they saw them was totally worth it!
Well...Im telling this story now because yesterday the Zufelt family came and picked up their Daisy and puppies...It was bitter sweet!...I kind of missed not worrin if I was going to run over Daisy when I was pulling out my truck this morning! We will miss the puppies but we know where to find them! Thank You Zufelt family for not only allowing us to play with them but for bring us back so many fun new toys from Disneyland! Love You!

  1. What a tender story! And the picture at the end makes it all worth while! I love Taylor's crooked little piggy tails! And it looks like TJ is still losing teeth! (Those are big puppies!)
