At the beginning of January, life was normal. We were a one dog family.
Life was good. In the middle of January, we took on my husband's
grandparent's mini-dachshund while they traveled for two months. Life was a
bit more hectic - two doxies is a fun time, though.

WELL, I got a phone call this morning. My older sister went into labor at
midnight last night and had her baby at 5 this morning. Since I'm the
sister that lives the closest, guess who gets her Golden Retriever for the
next few days? Luckily Rusty LOVES Noble (the Golden). When I came
home with him this morning. Rusty jumped up on me and starting licking my
face as if to say "thank you so much for this wonderful party!!" His two
best friends are here to play for a while. Life is good.

him when he gets home again)

lol Yeah sorry. I'm still in shock - she went to the Dr. yesterday at noon
and they said that it would be another week. lol She had a baby girl named
McKenzie (not sure how you spell that yet) Elizabeth. Mom and baby are
doing great.

Thanks!

Six years ago, an out of town friend got a new baby (adopted). I went
to tell some quilter friends the happy news. They became all interested
in the medical details of why she'd adopted, kept returning to the
subject of whether she'd taken this medicine or that one (details I
didn't know), implied that she could have carried to term if she'd done
this or that differently (though my friend had excellent insurance and
medical care) and basically showed no interest in the baby herself.
Thinking about it later, I realized I didn't have anything in common
with those women. I may spend more of my day on quilting, but any
self-respecting dog person would want to know about a baby, not
miscarriages. See? We're dog people. Dog people love it that you're
an aunt. That's happy news indeed.
