The Puppies Get New Homes

29 Dec

That’s Manny, who has now been named Macy by her new owner. The guy in this picture got her for his girlfriend for Christmas, but I knew these two would wind up bonding! (read: she is going to be spoiled absolutely rotten, thanks to this guy)

Two of our puppies are gone, one is leaving this weekend, and that means we only have one left. We have been fortunate to find great homes for our babies (sorry, people who came and looked but fed their dogs Krystal and sweet tea!), and I hope we will be able to find a great home for Spinner, too. The guy who came and got Jimmy today had gone to a certain nearby puppy mill today that we had also visited on our quest to find Buffy (one of the most horrible experiences of my life), and he mentioned that their ten-week-old pups, the same age as our puppies, were at least twice as big and not half as cute. He also said that they told him “state law prevented him from going to the back to see the parents”. WTF? I’m pretty sure “state law” wouldn’t allow for that place to be in business at all. Either way, I’m glad that guy didn’t have to see the things I saw when I was there.

Is it possible that I have never had kids and yet I’m feeling empty nest syndrome already? The house will be quiet again soon, and our office can be our office again instead of the puppy room. It’s impossible to keep this place organized when 1/4 of our space belongs to four little furballs! Even so, I will definitely miss them, and watching them go has definitely been bittersweet!

But seriously. Someone come and get Spinner. Two dogs are all I can handle.
