October 19, 2009

Dear Jeremiah,

Happy week ten! I bet you have a daily count down going. No call from you yesterday, but ya know I didn’t expect it. It seems like you really only get a chance to call every other weekend. Not much going on around here. We are all doing well and healthy except Grandma has a cold again. The weekend was kinda quiet. Ann had the boys until I picked them up at 2pm Sunday. So Saturday I really didn’t do much besides open the door for the dogs to go in and out. Did some power napping. Sunday I swept the house and dusted in my room a bit and did laundry. We had a lot of rain Saturday. JD’s corner was all flooded across the street. I finally took the air conditioner out of my window. The dogs keep my room so warm. That I want to be able to open the windows and air it out during the day. I think Dutch is the major factor in the over heating of my room. He has been limping around for a couple of days. I don’t know why, I checked him out and don’t find anything. Maybe he got bit. I got my ad in the Oregonian Thursday night, nothing Friday and all day Saturday until about 9:30 at night. I got a response from a lady. I replied back and still haven’t heard back. Then Sunday morning early 6:30 am some one else emailed me about Pony. He is coming out today after I get off work. He says that they live on 10 acreas and have other animals besides having 2 young boys. He thinks Pony will fit in great with his family. I guess they lost their dog last June, he was 13 years old. Hopefully they all fall in love with her. It sounds like a good home for her. Fritz has had his nose just about attached to Sadies backside since Friday. I checked her out yesterday and there’s a bit of blood. So she’s in heat. She is kinda snappy right now with Fritz and Gretchen is all excited about it too. I hope Hiedi will follow suit and start her heat. I’m going to let Sadie breed. She is doing good and is nice and fat. She can pick her guy between the two and we’ll see what comes out. So if she breeds next weekend, she will have puppies between Christmas and New Years. I would rather have more puppies in the spring than in the fall, unless I have puppies in time for Christmas. Lulu’s, Fritz’s hot date, is getting all fat. I emailed her family last weekend to check up on her. So he’s definitely gonna be a papa again. I wonder what color will come out of her? I’m almost considering not breeding Fritz because of the limitations on the color he produces. But at the same, I charges less for his puppies and that makes them more affordable. By the way, bad economy or not people are still spending money. They may not be traveling as much or they are putting off buying houses but they are still making purchases. If I sell Pony tonight I think I’m going to take Wes and the boys out to dinner. Probably Shari’s Today is Wes’ first day caring for the boys. Plus he has to clean up downstairs. So going out will be nice for him. They all do well together. Wes and Theo eat pretty much the same thing. Well that’s about all I have to say now. Take care, do good. I love you and miss you.

Love Mom.
