Cousin Alma took a trip up to Northern California and asked if I would like to take care of her puppy, Snoopy, she was tentative, but I thought that was more of a maternal instinct issue. She then advised that Snoopy has been to obedience school twice, because he flunked the first time...hmmm...things to ponder. She dropped him off last Tuesday on the 10th around 5:00 PM, he was happy, excited, and energetic, running around our yard as though it was his own personal playground.
During his stay, I can only describe it as...complete aboulance, making the "Energizer Bunny" seem as though it is on Valium! Snoopy was precocious, curious, mischievous, and cuter than all get out!!! He is a mixture of Maltese and Pomeranian and has a cute over bite, which doesn't stop him from trying to put everything in his mouth, chewing on things, and loving to play tug-of-war.
This happened to be one of the busiest times for Bob's business, so trying to make DVD covers or anything else was quite a challenge with Mr. Furball Energy Man flitting from here to there.
All that said, I felt like a new Mommy getting up several times a night, making sure little guy got taken care before anyone else, and although he exhausted me I fell in love with him over and over again because he was so cute.
In the end, Alma picked him up on the 16th, Monday afternoon, and although I had fun with him I was so pleased to return to my peaceful, quiet, and routine filled life. Everything comes down to comparison, Bob and I had been thinking of purchasing another furry baby or two, and now...we think that life is pretty good as is!!!
