being a mom, and then learning how not to be

Surviving Puppies…

I survived another hour. Noon

Well another successful potty trip to the backyard. They had fun chewing sticks, carrying leaves around, tripping over themselves, and finding that perfect spot to poop and pee. Thank goodness it’s not diarrhea like yesterday; well the male puppy, (which I’ll have to call him since we are not sure if we’re naming him Luke or Rowdy) his are a little softer again. Oh yeah and then my sneakers – well let’s just say I think I stepped in yesterday‘s diarrhea. I left them outside the door.

So then we came in, I got them their lunch, put it on paper plates today since yesterday (or was it just this morning?) willow or princess or sweetie – whatever we may be naming her – she didn’t really like eating out of the bowl. But on the paper plates, both of them went right to it and each ate their own food… Sort of. Then he promptly went over and started to poop on the rug and I ran over to intervene only in time to clean it up. Oh well. Then I went to dump a little poop in the toilet (of course I just had to get some on my finger.)

I went to the kitchen to tie up the stinky paper towel and just as I finish washing my hands, I look over to see the rascally, “rowdy” little boy grabbing the edge of his sister’s food plate to carry it away, spilling the contents on the floor. I quickly rushed over and grabbed the plate and began to scoop the little bit of food back on the plate, and pick up the other one to put the food away.

Just then I see her looking for a place to poop. Time to go out again. I happened to glance over and remember that I was gonna make myself a pizza… Well it’s not a pizza it’s just a tortilla, couple pieces of pepperoni, and a little pizza sauce – but it’s the best I can do under the circumstances.

Now they are sleeping to garner enough energy for the next round of shenanigans.
