Cole Sleeping at My Feet

Cole is a combination joy and pain in the butt. Puppies are a little easier then human babies only because they sleep longer and you can crate them and leave them home while you go out. They are harder because they don't diapers and they are very mobile.

He is adorable because he is a puppy. He is a pain in the butt, because he doesn't want to be out of my sight, is constantly underfoot and has very sharp teeth that he likes to use on my appendages. The hardest is I need to get up in the middle of the night to take him out. By the way, I'm sure I look really cute in the back yard at 3 in the morning in my PJs and a baggy sweatshirt.

Now that he is in the house I do have spells when I wonder whether or not I am out of my mind. I have added a new living being to my list of responsibilities. I was really enjoying retirement and making headway on getting the house in order and I've set my self back by adding a baby to the mix. Mostly I am glad. I think.

Hi. Sunday I went to a family get-together. We met at a restaurant near Pirate's Cove on the bay. Several pet owners were at the outdoor bar with their pets. It must have been a walking group and their pets. Nascar, a yellow lab greeted me with his tail wagging. Wait til Cole grows. You bet you will be happy that you made your decision. "Someday", I keep saying to myself "someday." Hang in there friend. They grow faster than our children and they are a lot of work but such a joy as well. You will never have to worry about a stranger cause Cole will be at your side, right? Just don't trip on him, ha! "KB"
