Yes, Mom and I have done it now. We have fattened up our puppies, who are not really puppies anymore, even though we still call them puppies.
Yep! Lily, the short-haired daschund, must weigh at least twenty pounds by now.
I blame Mom for giving our puppies "cookies" just because they are so cute.
But this week I heard Mom blame me. That's right! Mom told Tina, Truett's daughter, that I spoil the puppies and give them cookies all the time. That's not true, but I don't have the energy to fight.
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. What matters now is that my mother cannot pick up Lily, the short-haired puppy because she is too heavy. So I now leave notes to Mom that if the puppies poop or pee on the floor while I'm at the hospital visiting Truett, I will clean it up when I get home, because I know Lily is too heavy for Mom to put her in her pen.
Yes, in our time of stress, we reward our puppies.
"Cute puppy! Want a cookie?"
"Good dog! Here's a cookie!"
Yes, we've done it now!
Mom and I!
