We are expecting! Yikes! I’m 41 and Ruth is too! Can we handle this? Will we be able to tolerate those late night feedings and crying babies. Yes you heard right – Babies!!!!!! The cool thing is we know our babies will all be blonds. And likely we will finally get our girl. Is it possible to be missionaries and have this many babies around? What if things go wrong in the delivery of these babies? and their mother? and what about my wife who will have to care so much for these babies? How will I handle this as a father? Will we be able to afford all the new mouths and their doctor visits and and and. . . . Have Mercy!!!!!
The good news is these babies are not human. Our female Golden Retriever - Princess – is having puppies soon. And the proud father is our very own – Heir Buddy! Buddy has not always been the most faithful of fathers and happens to have had a planned adulterous relationship with another good looking golden retriever who provided a “pay off” for his error of 1 of his offspring. He had 7 puppies and 1 stillborn from this planned illicit relationship – aka. studding service.
Buddy’s child, from this “relationship”, came for a paternal rights home visit. Buddy was very proud of his son. Clearly, Princess was not impressed and finally made it very clear that the new owners had to come quickly or else she was going to jealously take things into her own paws. We don’t know the due date exactly but it should be this week or next so stand by for news.
Princess our expectant mother.
She loves digging nesting holes all over the yard.
Buddy’s offspring meets his step mother – Princess was not impressed and kept up a low growl for a while.
Buddy kept an ever watchful eye on his son while Princess looks on jealously.
That's one way to get people to read your blog :).
