Proud parent.

Cinematic Moment:  Surprise!

A month or so ago I was at my local pizza joint and overheard the delivery guy talking about his Great Danes having 12 puppies.  I've always been a bit of a sucker for dogs that could be mistaken for horses--the Mastiffs, Great Danes, St. Bernards.  Sign me up.  The idea of checking out a dozen of these little sweeties was far too much for me to pass up.  With the man of the house away, I recruited a friend to go with me, thinking I would just not tell him and then send a pic of the puppy to him when I got there.  He would not be able to say no.   My friend agreed this was a great plan and that she would use the same tactic with her hubby.  So we made the hike to PA with visions of smooshie faced canines dancing through our heads.

Well, the reality is that once we got there I realized no matter how badly I'd love to, we do not live a lifestyle conducive to a 180 pound dog.  This is why we have little ones.  But that is not to say that the animal gods did not shine down on me that day, as it turned out the Great Dane mommy's mommy has a sister (say that 3 times fast...and try to figure it out.)  This sister has a Brussels who is itching for some loving from our little Benson.  We like to think of her as a surrogate for Barbara and Ben,  So yes, ladies in gentlemen, the 2nd week of April, I will be dropping him off for a conjugal visit and sometime this summer, I'm going to be a grandma!!

Bi-focals, knitting puppy sweaters, spoiling the little one rotten--count me in.  Let's take a gander at what my future grandpuppy might look like:

Scooby Doo ate too much. Damn stoner.

That's how you do it though Chonny husbands/boyfriances cannot refuse you when you (this is how I got my dog) are in a pet store and he's out side and you smoosh your face and the adorable little puppy's face to the window and pout they are as good as done for. 600 dollars later and a ton of puppy pads I was a happy girl :)

I thought about "studding" my child out, but it made me feel like a pimp.. LOL

Someone buy me that last puppy, the black one with the adorable knitted sweater.

lol...

okay so Im starting off by saying that Brussels Griffons are cute doggies. Have you ever seen the way some groomers cut their fur and then they end up looking like cute little wookies afterwards? lol...there was one at my work the other day named 'Chewy' actually.

As for the studding...way to go! lol. I always thought of studding out Lurpy because its cheaper and less work when you have the boy dog. lol. The only thing I heard is that sometimes when you stud out a male his hormones go crazy and he never looks back. Meaning, he might become a little more testosterone driven fromhere out. Since hes a little guy though it should be okay. i had to fix Lurpy because he started peeing on everything after he was around Mulah and she was in heat.

Sorry to ramble, we all know that doggies and babies are my favorite things so this post was just asking fo rit. lol

Cuteness.
I saw one a couple days ago wearing a biker outfit and missing his teeth.
He was old so no worries.

I say you should have a puppy shower to welcome the new one.

I don't know much about dogs, but they look like little Ewoks. I would name it Suda Trok!

They do look a little like Ewoks! I always wanted a pet Ewok. Adorable :)
