AND THEN THERE WERE....

One would think
that when you have a lot of puppies
you wouldn't miss just one,
but then just one turns into
just two
and then
just three
and then
well, you get the picture.

The next thing we knew,
there were only three left -
Todd, which you can tell
because of the blue collar.
Jazzi and Sophie-
we're not really sure which one is which.

Then one, stormy, rainy afternoon,
a strange car came,
and the next thing we knew,
Sophie was going
up the road in it -
and she didn't even look back.

That left Jazzi and Todd.

Then
Jazzi
left
and
now

Todd is left to eat alone,
but
on the other paw,
he gets all the food,
all the toys,
all the petting,
all the rocking,
all the lap-time
and has the big puppy box
all to himself.
He will leave us later
in the week.

Since Mom feels sorry for him,
she's been really generous
with the peanut butter Kongs!!

Miss Ivy would like to go in
and keep him company
but Mom and Dad, the meanies,
won't let her.
She saw the Vet this week.
When we got her,
she weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces
and on Monday
she weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces
and we haven't even had her 4 weeks.
We think her name should be
"Poison Ivy"
because
she is growing like a bad weed!!
BOL!!

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi,
Ivy and Todd

PS - We're sorry we haven't been around to visiting
your blogs, but our secretary has been a bit overwhelmed.
We think things will calm down a bit now -
at least we hope so.
