I went to Temple today. it was interesting. I'm not a fan of organized religion, but for the most part, I enjoyed it. They fed me, which makes them awesome in my book.
I have two puppies in a box in my bedroom. Gredo, as the hub calls her, is home on meds to make sure her brain isnt swelling in her skull. Nameless male is home because somehow, he dislocated his wrist and his heel. Go fucking figure. Anyways, after the swelling goes down, he should be fine. He's still cartilage and not bone, so that's good. Dot has mastitis,which appears to be the (legitimate) reason she is trying to kill her kids. She is also forming an absess on one of her udders. So we're working on that. But these two can't fend for themselves against crazy mom at the moment, so they're here. It freaks finn out when they cry. And Simone isn't sure if they're edible yet. The cat is too good for them, and Doobie cares not about them.
I've decided that after the six week mark, I'm going to sit down and write up all the expenses (monetary) that went into the litter. I'd include non-monetary expenses, but since every individual prices things differently, it'd be kinda pointless. But I'd like to show people what went into the litter (from gestation to new homes) so when someone thinks they can breed dogs to make money, I can point and laugh. Mind you, this will not include all the expenses to get mom into acceptable breeding condition (like showing, vetting, etc).
I sort of cleaned my room today. If only I just put laundry away, it might seem like an actual bedroom. For another day.

Cool...when you have a love for something you do what you can for it. I think breeding of purebreds should be left to people like you. I always hate when I talk to random people I know, and they say "oh im gonna let her have a litter so I can make money, it will be good for her" blah blah blah...your just creating more animals that need homes, and you dont know what your really doing.
