101 Dal--um Labradors--err MUTS!

I would like to start this blog by stressing the importance of responsible dog ownership. If you can not care for a dog, keep a dog confined to your OWN YARD, etc...you should not be a dog owner. Yesterday, Delta (our full blooded beautiful black lab), gave birth to what appears today to be 10 (yes T E N) MUTS!

To add a little big of history to the story......
About 2 months ago a black dog kept digging under our fence and coming into our backyard. We would chase him out daily, fill the hole, block it up with bricks etc. Unfortunately for Delta, we are responsible dog owners who not only have her confined to a fenced backyard, but also have her on an electric shock collar with an invisible fence that surrounds our entire front and back yard. It's unfortunate for her since she could not escape the advances of this nasty mix-breed mut that has violated my sweet dog!

Fast forward 2 months, yesterday we have the birth of what I thought was 8-9 puppies (they are all up in her dog house with her) but have been told by my MIL and FIL which investigated today, that there are actually 10 puppies!

I have mixed emotions about all of these little muts. As a dog lover, I would like to do what I can to help Delta out with the puppies. As a realist with 2 kids, a full time job, and LOTS of other activities, I've decided not to interfere with them at all. Of course since they are muts, they will all thrive for 15 years with no shots or special treatment!

Mark your calendars for JUNE 30th!
On this day, 10 muts will need a good new loving home to go to!

PS- If anyone in Bay Branch Estates knows the owner of a black german shepard mix male dog, please email me at mandied@aol.com I have 10 reasons to slap them in the face!
