Puppy-Sitting

I picked up Piper from Adam and Brandi's on Wednesday morning before heading home from Coeur D'alene. They were heading to the annual Bear Lake snowmobiling trip and Piper is pregnant. She was so sad for the first 10 minutes and was literally yelling at me for taking me from her home when she was so close to giving birth. Mom suggested that I give Piper her blanket that Adam and Brandi sent with me to give to her after giving birth. She fell right asleep. Yesterday morning I awoke to Bodie crying and whining at the door. I called him and laid next to him a few moments when I heard the same crying coming from the downstairs bathroom where Piper was put for the night. I went down and checked on her and she was standing backwards, in her kennel, on all 4's. Then, a few hours later similar cries filled the house and when I went to check on her she was standing backwards? I thought maybe she was having contractions or something. While I was at work, I had a feeling that there was going to be puppies when I got home. Carson beat me to the house as he, Janel, Del, Marissa and Robby were to come over and play rockband. I asked Carson to check on the dogs, and he responded with "you got 3 puppies" haha, When I got home Janel helped me clean up the mess on the bathroom floor and we handed Piper her quilt. She looked really tired but very well. Today she is perky and drinking water. I have no problems at all getting her away from the puppies to go to the bathroom either. One is a whiner, I have yet to figure out which one it is. Anyways, here are some pictures of Brandi and Adams new puppies.

3 puppies, 2 girls, 1 boy

All they do it eat! They are going to be chubby

They fit in my hand. But piper doesn't like it to leave her so she picks it up by the rear end and brings it back to the others!

One of the females. She's the cuter of the two.

The male is the brown one.

Bodie loves playing with the puppies, but Piper scares him. This particular smokey gray puppy was dropped when piper headed out to go the bathroom.

She proves to be an excellent mother!

She licks, licks and licks some more. Goodness!

How precious. Mommy and her son!

Valentines day

Today I replaced the blown speakers in the back of my truck. $100 later i'm glad I didn't put the sub and amp that the salesmen suggested in. You see, I thought it'd be a good idea, then I got to thinking...Why would I spend so much money on putting in such a huge system I could really care less for. I don't really feel the need for it to bump like that. To be honest, it's fine now...and since I am going to Alaska and the truck will sit for 5months might as well save the money and make a payment on the truck. Heck for how much the sub and amp would've costed 4 truck payments:D All around, it was a good afternoon. I'm happy with what I got, and what I didn't get.

Mom has the sweetest daughter

Look mom got something in the mail:D

So sweet

It even came with chocolates!

Today the delivery guy brought mom a special surprise. Stephanie knew she wasn't going to get to see mom for valentines day and is so considerate to think of mom on this holiday. Mom opened the flowers and turned to me "Deanna did you do this?" haha I replied "no mom i'm not that considerate!" I hate valentines day haha. But - Stephanie and Andrew are so sweet. Mom started balling when she read the card that came with the beautiful roses. I took some pictures so that everyone could enjoy mom's flowers from Steph. "Thanks steph - from mom"
