What Makes Me Happy

I lifted this picture off my sister-in-law's Facebook page (without permission):


She has eight brand new puppies at her house.  Husband and I were out there Friday and she let me hold them.  I'm a sucker for baby things (except baby people with wobbly heads). 

I stood there and watched them crawl all over each other and grunt like newborn puppies do.

My favorite part was when Sawyer, my five-year-old nephew, told me that when the puppies came out of the mother's tummy, they were in blue shells that the mother ate.  Being the awesome, educational, slightly weird aunt I am, I tried to tell him the blue shell was called a placenta.  He wasn't impressed.

 I scratched the mother on the chest and told her she did a good job.  She pretended that I wasn't a complete stranger and ignored the fact that I probably didn't really know what I was talking about. 

Now if only we lived somewhere with room for the babies to run and chase ducks. 

I would take two.
