   I am an idiot...

   ...A very confused, but well-meaning and well-intentioned person.   (However, knowing this, and even having put it to print here does NOT, in any way shape or form, negate the fact that I remain an idiot)!

   Is that enough entry for today? Or would you care for an explanation??

   ...Yeah, I'll bet...

   Depending upon whichever side of the crisis you are on, it is either good/bad...  Aren't they all? (Just remember, I'm the idiot in the middle)...     

   Another of our "parents" stopped by to visit with her new little dog.  And to make a long story short, her new little dog turns out to be the very same one that I had left go for "visitation" 2 nights ago...   Boy did I ever screw up.  I had the gentleman come and identify the original pup they had chosen...  I had given them the wrong one- They will be picking up the correct one then to bond with it tonight. 

   I am SO sorry.  Maybe if God would have made the pups red, orange, blue, purple and green etc etc etc; and maybe if I wasn't such an addlepated and confused person, and maybe if there wasn't everything going on, I wouldn't have screwed this up.   (But maybe I would have anyway)!  Hopefully it is something that we will be able to laugh at 10 years from now too.

   I spoke with the "parents" who already picked up their new pup. They have had her in for her vet check, and all is well. Dare I say 'perfect'?  The vet said there was nothing wrong with getting the pup a bit early-  As far as I am thinking, it is better for the dog if there is even a bit of "can't do" on the mothers part.  He said already she is getting to be a pro at housebreaking; and already has her little corner of the yard where she "does her duty"-  Although her obvious intelligence does not surprise me,  I am very happy to hear it too. She is adapting so very well.

   Miss Millys temp has gone down almost to normal- Perhaps with removing her from the stress of the pups on a 24/7 level has helped a bit. 

   I mowed back by the woods yesterday- But couldn't move the picnic table down by the campsite either-  I shall stomp upon those few nasty weeds that didn't get mowed down then.

    I  still have to be planting my little garden... Going to Appleton today too.  And finally, CaseyAnnes'  appointment has been set up at Froedtert for next friday morning. We will not know anything more until that point in time.

   Keep those prayers coming!  And have a great weekend.
