You know, I didn’t know how nice it was to have 2 sisters.  One has been ill, as you know by a previous entry.  She remains at Bethesda Hospital, recovering, making tiny strides almost daily.  She has become somewhat irritable at times, and demanding…a symptom of her recovering.  It has been hard to make time to visit her because of my other life.  Yes, my dog life.  With puppies on the ground, I MUST have time to socialize them properly. 

That’s where my other sister comes in.  Just when I was feeling like I was going to fall apart and couldn’t handle it any more, my other sister came and spent the past month with me.  She visited Barbara, helped with the whelping, and kept my house in order.  She did Barbara’s taxes, and loved up the puppies.  She had to go home because she was getting exhausted, too!  Now I have my neighbor helping so all is well.  If only I had known my sister was going to be so sick, I may have planned my life differently.

However, I love my dogs, and I love puppies, and puppy breath.  So, I may have had to plan for the puppies just to keep me sane.  They are over 4 weeks old now, and soooooooo  much fun.  They get excited when I enter their bedroom, and they get mad at me if I don’t pick them up soon enough for their taste.  And OH the lovely kisses.  Sweet, sweet puppies.
