Purging and Puppies
Can you believe I really show people this stuff? This is my utility room "before" picture, taken yesterday morning around 10 am. It was so bad you couldn't even squeeze in. The water softening unit in the far back right corner has been turned off for years because it was inaccessible. And our heating system filter is way off cleaning schedule too.
But I have some wonderful friends, and Audrey, a friend from church came over for about four hours and I was amazed at what we accomplished! I will post an "after" picture tomorrow. Even Howie said, "WOW!" But it is a multi phase purging process. First stop was up the stairs and into the garage where it is being sorted out to go in the trash (very little) HUF recycling/discount center ( a lot) Erin for a yard sale at her convenience (doesn't matter to me when she has it, it is out of my house and going in HER garage!) and then finally a booth at an antique flea market. Today I took the stuff to Erin's and tomorrow I will make a HUF run. I cannot begin to tell you how good it feels to have it going! But I think I may have OCD...
Now, here are doggie and puppy photos. No wonder the girls would love a puppy for Christmas. No. It won't happen this time around. But the mama, Rags, below, may be bred again down the line.
She had eight puppies! We were there for the last one. They actually eat the sac. Remember I am a city kid and didn't grow up around breeding animals of any kind. I had a canary and a turtle. Now we have a menagerie.
Nicole especially liked the brown one.
They do look like little rats at the moment but they will get really cute.
So that's it for the purging and puppies.

I just realized I posted in the wrong spot! Sorry! I want a white girl, ok? I had to give away my precious cockapoo (white, girl) when I began catering-no fur allowed in the house! I really would love a small dog again!
No wrong spot posting! Anyone who posts is in the right spot!
I like the white ones too...I am trying to lobby for one, but may end up with a divorce if I lobby too hard...
We have 9 cats, 2 dogs and 3 horses....and countless snakes and mice and who knows what else outdoors....
18 months ago, we had 3 (three) cats. then our little 2 yr old had one, then 6, then before one of her six was even 5 months old, she got pregnant and gave us 4 more (if you are doing math, we got rid of half of the litter of 6 and half of the litter of 4). Now ALL but the 2 youngest ones are spayed or neutered,,,yay!! I could show you some CUTE photos!!
I like the white puppies too..but we are overflowing here.
PS...don't you just LOVE puppy breath?
