Boy did you sum it up!!! It was some ordeal alright!!! a good lesson for anybody who is thinking about "breeding" their "pet" You'd be amazed at what can go wrong!!! And Wham! Your nursing five eight day old micro pups!!! Round the clock is right! You go from... Momma will do it all... to wow.. I now have NO LIFE! for the next 8 weeks!!!
It was a labor of love... but most "pet" owners work full or part time and are just not prepared nor have the experience that I, thank god, had behind me... Its a monumental task to take on! even if NOTHING goes wrong... Its still a ton of work!
But when your lucky enough to find homes like Jen for your babies... You feel like it was all so worth it!!!
Cali was my pick of the litter.... She was my "payment" for raising the litter for my Grandmother... I had planned on keeping her.. But Jen PM'ed me and I just felt compelled to say yes to her.. after saying NO! to dozens of people.. I had turned down crazy offers of thousands... One guy stood in my living room and literally bid on her... in increments of five hundred... I could have walked away with over five grand
But seriously... I did not want her to be some rich jerks prize for his plastic trophy wife... Jen is the perfect home for her!!!
Its not about the money... I have run Cali to the vet more than a few times for a sniffle or a sneeze... I really care about her... She is almost six months old.. she is my baby girl... I am going to have such a hard time watching her leave with Jen on that plane saturday! I am soooo mixed... I know she could not be going to a better place but how could I not feel such a loss with her gone??? God I'm going to miss her!!!!
Damn you Jen! Love ya!
