Quail_Antwerp: Words from the Barnyard...

I'm just heartbroken. Browsing FB and I ended up on our local county pound's page and I see these two boys

Why would these two bother me more than the others?

Because they were born on my farm. Their mother was a yellow lab, named Summer, and their father is my Blue Heeler, Earnhardt, who's 10. Sadly, we lost Summer right after these boys were adopted due to the neighbor's horse being loose in our yard and kicking her in the head (she was chasing him). We had to have her put down.

Now I know there are people who will say I should have spayed my dog, that there's no excuse for accidental litters blah blah blah I don't want to hear it.

I take good care of the pups, and I do the best I can to make sure they get GOOD homes.

The story behind these two boys - they went to a good home togethet at 8 weeks old. They have had the SAME home together ever since. I know that their owners got divorced last year, and their mom didn't get custody of them. The ex-husband did. He didn't care about the boys at all.

IF I had known they were going to be surrendered to the pound, I would have offered to take them first. I cannot afford to go pay the $ to get them out, but I'm going to do my best to get them adopted.

I plan to go visit them tomorrow while Baby Boy is in school, if I can.

We originally were going to keep Cobalt, who we had called Spud, while he was here.

I'll blame part of it on hormones, because I've been crying like a baby over these two boys since finding they are at the pound.
 
Baby Girl technically should be here 2 weeks from today - but I'm honestly hoping since I've been sooooooooooo miserable today, and the heartburn today was sooooo bad that I felt like my innards were coming up next, that I'll go in tomorrow and she'll say, "We're going to have a baby today! You're ___ cm dialated!"

Most likely just wishful thinking, but I cannot fully explain I don't think how I felt today.

mostly dazed, no real appetite, sick to stomach, threw up my morning coffee (it was like morning sickness all over again), heartburn so bad it felt like i was dying, and I really just wanted to sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep.

Still feel tired. I've pushed through the day, and now am about to give the youngest 2 boys a bath before their bedtime.

Seriously, if Baby doesn't come tomorrow, I'm running to the store for Romaine Lettuce and eggplant. Time to start trying at home induction methods - and not going to put hubby to work because the idea of him touching me right now makes me sick! :sick
 
My mother swears by Italian food, especiallly lasagne.

So sad about the pups- divorce sucks.
 
I'm told pretty much anything spicy and excursive, be it just walking or anything that gets the heart pumping. Good luck, hope baby arrives as soon as possible but safe and healthy
 
With a Lab and Heeler cross they should make excellent farm dogs. Maybe finding them a home won't be too difficult.

I hope you are feeling better soon as well. :hugs
