You all remember how Jeremy likes a deal, right? Well, anyone who knows Jeremy knows that, too. So when one of our tenants happened to end up in the possession of some items he thought we might like in exchange for part of this month’s rent, he asked Jeremy about them. My answer was, We need those like a hole in the head: NO. And so it was, and I forgot about it.
Then yesterday, Blythe and I took a stroll down to the mailbox and I was trying to think of something to do while we waited for Jeremy’s wacky cake to come out of the oven (more on that later). And then I remembered the items our tenant mentioned he had, and I thought, Hey, Blythe might like to see that.
Therein lies my mistake, invisible friends. Let me just pass around the collection plate first. Feel free to drop in a heart or two. Because those items are these:
And this:
It turns out the little she-dog is the sweetest, calmest, gentlest dog I ever met. I tried a few commands with her and she’s pretty good at sit and stay. Get this: she stepped in some poo while coming over to greet me, realized this immediately and then washed it off by swishing her foot in water (note the damp right foot). She licked Blythe’s toes through the kennel, and she proudly showed me her pups. They smell like puppies and feel soft like puppies and have big round bellies like puppies and make little sleepy-puppy sounds like puppies, because that’s what puppies do. For now, all we get to see is their little hind-ends with their cute puppy sprawl.
I’ve been back down to see them something like four times now, and talked to Jeremy about it. We really don’t have time to properly train puppies, which is why we hadn’t planned to get another dog until the kids are older. But the she-dog, she wouldn’t take all that much work. And I’ve already named her Shelbi. So, uh-oh, people. UH. OH.
