Teh lufferly bitches. ♥ |
It started with my brother. My brother whom, no matter what my parents say to him... never listens. Like, ever. It's an admirable trait to have, yes, but can also get the idiot into a lot of bloody trouble; sometimes. Anywho, one colds day around... 3 years ago, at a guess, my dear brother stumbles in with a bundle in a blanket in his arms, takes a seat, and unwraps the smallest, cutest little pup I'd ever seen. The script went a little like this:
Me and Caitlyn; "Awwww!" *run over to see*
Me; "Who's is it?" *strokes* :3
Mitchell; *smugly* "It's ours."
Me; "Really? Mum and dad said we can keep it?!"
Mitchell; "Not yet. Her name is Princess."
Me; "Aw, so cute." :3
Mitchell; "My friend gave her to me. They were giving away their puppies."
And that ended that. I ultimately could not give a shit about where he'd got her, and how he was to convince mum and paps to let us keep her, she was utterly adorable and huggable and snuggable. ♥
Later on, mum came home and Mitchell attempted to convince her... firstly by shoving this adorable little mutt on her lap (right). Be honest now. You might be the most heartless bastard in the entire cosmos, but how the hell could you say that you'd allow putting this adorable little Princess out on the streets? Well, my mum ain't heartless. And, even though he seems it sometimes when he's an utter dickhead, neither is my dad. And I love them both very much. :]
She sorta just... drifted in. Dad wasn't happy, and neither was mum, but mum adored Princess cause she was so adoringly adorable. And dad just got on with it cause that's the way it goes. xD
Mitchell used to take this pup everywhere with him. He loved her, she... well, she did once love her daddy very much so. She had an awesome few years as she grew up into a beautiful staffy... :3
Spring... |
...Turned to Summer... |
...Turned to Autumn... |
...Turned to Winter. |
The weirdest thing about Princess' pregnancy is that when she was in her last 2 or 3 weeks, she wouldn't eat... unless fed from a fork. xD And then she ate more than when she usually did. And she's usually well fussy about her food as well. Strangest thing. And it seemed that her waters never broke... she just went into labour.
A literal day before she went into labour... |
But we exentually got a hold on Mitch, and he basically sprinted the whole way home. xD And we waited...
And waited...
And waited some more...
Mitch; "She better not have anything wrong with her or I'll kill Dodger (the dad) for getting her pregnant!"
Me; *massages her pelvis to help her relax*
Mitch; "What the fuck are you doing?"
Me; "It relaxes her and helps her push..."
[pop]
Me and Mitch; *watch a puddle form on the floor, get excited*
Princess after three pups... |
We all "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed over the pups, cooing and shizz. Even dad turned around and said that he though the second pup born was quite cute actually. xD And that's something... cause you'd never catch dad using the word cute. He said it to mum and told him not to tell us, but she told us anyway. :P
Around 11pm, when everyone was settled and all the puppies were feeding... [pop]. Water and blood all over the living room. Gross. There was another pup coming... I legged it up the stairs to get the nail scissors and some towels, Mitchell scooped up the pup, and in minutes the pup was on a teet, suckling happy on milkies. :3
At first, everyone continued to coo over them... they looked like hamsters or something, and they were just so adorable.
I remember having to save one once. It crawled out of the bed and under the sofa... all we could hear was this loud pitched squeaking. Me, being such an amazing detective, discovered the pup wasn't in the bed, but hidden somewhere... searched and eventually found her. Poor thing was squashed between the sofa and the magazine rack. :[

And then run...
And play...
And cause utter destruction.
And then they discovered the ouside world. Obvious, Sox the Brave went first. They were all shit scared at first, cause it was Spring, and the air was still pretty damn cold. They shivered and stood at the doorstep, looking out at the great world beyond. Then they took their first steps out the door, their first steps to partial freedom... and realised it was safe. And seemed to enjoy it. :D
Three... |
Two... |
One and a bit... xD |
So one by one, they left, until there was 2 left... Sox and mama's little Soldier. :D Soldier had a hernia, but was snatched up by someone who my brother knew cause he was male. The guy paid £50 for him... then paid out £300 for his operation to get his operation to remove the hernia. And you know what he said? He loved the dog so much already, he was willing to pay every last penny. How effin adorable is that?
Sox, the runt of the litter.
She was the smartest of the lot as well. She was the one who first discovered how easy it is to get onto the sofa, how to get out of the pen, and how to destroy the whole living room.
A smart little devil. And a manipulative bitch. xD She has the puppy dog look all sorted, and she can sure as hell make you feel bad for telling her off. She does this snuggly thing and rolls onto her belly and wags her tail... it's adorable, and annoying. Absolutely impossible to stay angry at her for too long. ♥
Anyway, dad had once said we could not, no matter what the circumstances, keep ANY of the puppies. At all. Ever. So how the hell did we end up being able to keep Sox, you ask? Mitch let my uncle take one of the pups for free... in exchange for dad letting us keep Sox. :P Simplez.
And that, my lovelies, is how I have ended up with these two great lumps sleeping at the end of my bed each and every night.
And, to be completely honest..? As much as they keep me up half the night, stealing my cover, barking out the window, and chewing up my socks and shit... I wouldn't have it any other way... ♥
The freak with her tongue in my ear. xD ♥ |
