The last pup made it to the vet, had its dew claws removed, and got an initial check-up. He was doing great, but we did have a close call. Scotty decided to sit with him while he watched “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” but when he went down to the whelping box the pup was tangled in his mom’s hair around the throat. Jenny was noticeably upset, as was the pup who was now wailing. Scotty pinned her down and called for me. I took over while he went up for some scissors, and we cut the fur loose. The pup and Scott are now enjoying the movie. If I only believed in curses I would say that this litter was cursed, but I just think has just been a bad week. It is so very nice to see him snuggling with Scott and enjoying some peace.

But the scary part was to see my daughter heading to Prom. Don’t get me wrong, Stephanie is a wonderful daughter and I couldn’t ask for better, but she looked 25. She went with her boyfriend and 9 other couples, 5 of the girls are on the lacrosse team. But it was just another marker in my life of how soon she will be leaving. She was genuinely excited and it was so great to see. I used to laugh when she would go to school with an empty Barney backpack bigger than she was. Now she is a beautiful young woman who is riding the edge of adulthood. I am proud of her, but it will be the death of me yet!!

Anyway, I will now wait till she gets home! Worry worry worry. But I am pleased to say I have made it now till 10:30! I am doing pretty well, all things considered…..as long as Amanda talks me down!!

I am gonna wait up, but you should go to bed!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless.
