Bye Bye Babies

            It really is a process selling your babies; baby puppies of course. There are still two left, and they are getting huge! My mom and Ron try to figure out the best families for each and every one of the precious little munchkins. Sissy and Sadie are the two of them that are left.

            We put an ad on craigslist and have had many, many calls. Some of the people that called were a little bit suspicious, one guy that called said he didn’t have enough money at the time but he had some “other stuff” that he could give us. I didn’t talk to him personally but Ron said he tried to trade him drugs for one of the puppies. Not only does this make it seem like they are a not the best people to have one of the dogs, but if they can’t pay for the puppy, then how would they afford to feed and take care of it. We also had a few families that were interested but once they heard how much the puppies were, they said thanks and hung up. I understand that 500 dollars is sort of a lot for a puppy, but they are purebred and I guess that’s what they are usually sold for. Plus, again, if they can afford to buy the puppy then they probably can take care of it well.

            All of the families that were interested or for sure wanted to buy a puppy came to our house and visited them. We got to kind of get a feel for what kind of people they were. One family were, not to be stereotypical, but a bunch of hillbillies. Even though they were a bit wacky, they were a really nice family and had other dogs already. They lived on a farm and really cared for animals. Most of the people who adopted puppies became friend with my mom on Facebook so we could watch them grow up. It is amazing how fast they grew up, it seems like just a week ago I was watching them be birthed. I am really surprised that I am not sad about them leaving, but honestly I don’t think I had time to be sad. I am so busy that taking care of them was just another thing to do. I don’t want that to sound bad I loved them a lot but I know that now they are with individual families that will love and spend time with them.
