And then came The Fab-Four! Priscilla gave birth to three boy's & one girl. They were big and healthy and just sweet. I said to my husband, " There is no reason for us to keep a puppy So no attachment!" We laughed and agreed it would be crazy. We have three as it is. Lola from the last litter whom had just stopped her teething rampage now was acting like a young puppy again. Although she wanted to lay and watch her mom feed the new litter she started acting up. So I decided it was time for "Puppy Boot Camp"
Lola was so excited to take her class every week and play with the other most unusual looking dogs. I mean after all she was used to dogs that looked like her. The big dogs with long snouts were exciting to her. Of course being the only bully in class she was also the most popular. Everyone wanted to know Lola.
Back to the litter, All went very well with this group for the first 3 weeks and then all of a sudden it came. The LIQUID SHITS! I won't go into details but as I am sure anyone can imagine it was bad! We finally crossed that challenge. And 6 weeks flew bye. Just as we went for the 6 week health check and shots, Bam here we go again The Poo's! I was happy to be in the vets office when this arose. It seems that they just picked up a little something from their Mom.
Our boy's we named, Mickey, Benny & Teddy were sold quickly upon their 8 week birthday. I had a list of people wanting our female but something just told me to hang on to her. Well, Now you understand where Bella fits in. We kept her! She is the cutest Fatty Cakes ever! There was just something about her. And to watch Lola , Cilla & Elvis play with her was just too cute. Knowing well that the teething rampage was going to begin again we decided to just deal with it. Who knew that Lola would start up again? Not Me! After all she was a GRADUATE of Puppy Boot CAMP!
I had a new couch delivered for our living room in a pumpkin ultra suede. It was perfect. And then came LOLA & BELLA. I went out and I returned to two tooth holes punctured in to the new sofa! Well, this is upsetting! We went on full time Puppy PT. I was on a mission to teach them not to do things like that. I reverted back to sour apple, lemon and then finally just the crunch of a paper rolled up. It worked! With in 2 weeks we had them over it.
Until I brought home the wicker outdoor sofa! It was a gift. I told you about bulldogs and wicker previously. It doesn't mix! To date that is still an issue. But I can deal with it.
The next hurdle, I will not allow my house to smell like a kennel and now there were four indoor dogs!
Let me share how easy it is. The only thing that changed is that I vacuum daily! Twice a week I still use Lysol and wash out the crates and the bedding still gets washed every other week. Really it's not a big deal. There is nothing more energizing then coming home to find these happy critters running to greet you and do the snot blow. Bulldogers, You know all about that!
And the story continues.....................
