This past Sunday my mother surprised me with a visit. I somewhat knew of this visit, but it hadn't been confirmed yet. I was so happy to see her, even just the 3 days she was here for. She got to see her Baby Boy again as she's been longing for some Granny-Baby time. He was perfect the entire time she was here and even after she had left the house. He didn't even get freaked out by her visiting. The reason I say he would've had the possibility is because we live so far away from her that he's not used to seeing her face all the time. While she was here, she gave him a mini birthday party with a mini cake because she's going to miss his actual birthday and wanted to see his reaction to cake ha-ha!
My mother left today around noon and took my Kato puppy with her. He's going to be Carissa and her dog and mom is looking into breeding him for the extra money. I think its a wonderful idea because We were thinking about doing it when we bought him and Reuso as Pups but then along came Graison and all the other life occupying things like Sheyden's multiple shift changes and temporary duty's that acquire him to leave home for a few weeks and those poor dogs of mine lost the attention needed.
Don't get me wrong here, We did/do take them on their occasional walks and throw the ball out in the backyard and let them wrestle together outside, but it turned out to be in short intervals ESPECIALLY when one dog wants to hop into the neighbors yard to play with their dogs or when you take them outside and the baby wakes up and just wants your undivided attention. I've been doing this dog thing by myself and it's hard with a baby and the things my husband is required to do that keeps him in the house for only a few hours of our day. Like currently he leaves for work around 1:30 pm after sleeping in until 11:30 and comes home at 10:45 pm and has to stay up in recorded to wind down from work to even get a wink of sleep and while he is unwinding I am heading to bed with Graison.
Anyways, I am rambling on. It's been a hard decision to give our dogs up to someone else that will have all that extra time to take care of them and give them the attention they're needing. At least, with my mother Kato will have her dog Tika and my sister to play with and be loved. I do love my dogs I just wish I was able to have the extra energy and that I was able to manage my time better, I now understand what being a mother does to your stored energy though while you have a child under 1 year of age. I just hope we can find Reuso a home as awesome as my moms will be for Kato. Reuso is the hyper one of the pair and he definitely needs that extra work and time, more time than one usually spends with a dog. He deserves a home that's good and loving and I hope we're able to find it for him.
