And Now There Were PUPPIES!

Priscilla had her very first litter of 5 chubby little bundles of squishy love. 3 girls and 2 boys.  We hired our dog sitter & friend to help us take care of them. She is lovingly titled 

"The Puppy Nanny"

We were working full time and racing around playing TAG-TEAM .

2 to 3 hour feedings around the clock all during the busiest time of the year,

The LAST QUARTER!

That means cooler weather, longer nights, more to do to be blunt.

All of a sudden 2 of them get pneumonia and 3 of them get the poops!

Oh My GAWD!

Puppies in a box and off we went to find them help. It took an entire week of medications, Pedialite , Nutritional supplements, baby butt balm and  a humidifier 24/7 to get them all back to health. But what a great day that was when all were aligned in perfect health.

However, 2 days later one of them had a pneumonia relapse. I would sit with her in a wash cloth bundled up feeding her with an eye dropper. I just fell in love with this little black masked girl that we had named Lola.

She finally was healed and while at work an old song came on ,"What Lola Wants" 

But it was a re mix  and it was at that moment I made that  Lola's Theme Song. Now she was ours. 3 BULLDOGS, We thought we were out of our minds!

8 weeks passed and it was time for them to move on to their new homes, all but one of course.

Lola is like my MUSE.

A crazy little red bully that just makes me laugh & wakes up my creativity. Our family of bullies gets along in harmony. Uncle Elvis loves to play with her and make her chase him to get toys. Her mama Cilla  is just as playful.

Then comes TEETHING!

Did I mention teething? You with puppies know all about that. Lola used my favorite couch as a teething ring! I have never had a dog do that.

I was in shock I was able to hide it for the most part but I know its there and it's not tiny.

My thing is you can have dogs in the house but your house doesn't need to smell or look like you have 4 legged kids. And yes, I vacuum every day if its 5 AM or 5 PM .

So with the theory of "my home is my castle, a cozy delicious place to rejuvenate"

I purchased everything, SOUR APPLE she LOVED IT! I even tried having her lick a LEMON when she tried to chew. You know thinking of the 

SOAP in a CHILD'S MOUTH  theory.

LOVED IT!

I was told try Hot Sauce! That I just couldn't do and I didn't want my house smelling like that.

A CAN with coins in it, NOW THAT WORKS! In fact that works for almost any situation.

Thank you to the pet trainer at Petsmart for that little trick.

We finally jumped that hurdle and life with 3 bulldogs was fun!

We should try this again my husband says to me. WHAT?

And the journey continues....................
