Getting My Hopes Up Again

I was minding my own beeswax on Wednesday afternoon, sitting at the kitchen table with HIPPIE, when I got a text from Farmer H. It said: "Do you want this?" It was followed by a picture of...

A PUPPY!

I don't have it loaded on my computer yet. So a picture will have to wait. I was shocked. Of course I want it! I could tell half of its heritage right away. But I had to ask what kind. You know, to make sure it's something we can handle.

"Yes! If you think it won't get too big. Those look like big dog feet."

"The mother is about twice as tall as Jack. I don't think it will be too big."

Anyhoo... I'll get that picture loaded for tomorrow. Farmer H says he can't bring it home yet. But in two weeks. I hope the weather settles down a bit by then. It's not from a rescue, so time is not an issue. I hope Jack is willing to accept a little brother.

  1. A puppy! Yay! I hope he or she comes home to you and that Jack isn't too put out.

    1. River,
      I think Jack's nose might be out of joint for a while. But who doesn't like a puppy! Jack won't be threatened by it, because he can boss it around.

    1. Kathy,
      I read how Kevin is enjoying the RV. I'm glad he doesn't have to share a room with Dora! Jack used to love our black tuxedo cat. Literally. The poor thing just endured it until we called him off, or he lost interest.
