I think the babies are asleep. I hope the same for me as well in the coming hour. slash I am experiencing some anxiety. Tomorrow the puppies go for an operation. Tunas will be neutered; Nata and Tomato will be spayed. I am feeling fearful. I am questioning the necessity of this procedure, while also recognizing that I do not want Tunas to impregnate his sisters. I am fearful that some of their spirits will dissipate. I also trust that they are who and as they are regardless, and any newness is a part of the process…besides, with these babies, there is constant newness. physical newness, attitude newness, intelligence newness, energetic newness.
I am also feeling sad because Wednesday morning we intend to leave the puppies in Michigan with my parents and brothers and head to Chicago area, and then to the farm on Saturday. My parents will then transport our babies to the farm the following Friday or Saturday after their staples (!!??!!) are removed. We are going to be away from our babies for a week and a half.
The trainer told us that puppies do not really have a concept of time. I hope this is true, and that when we reunite they will forget all about the time apart. Likely, I think. And what a joyful reunion it will be, I imagine. at least for me. I am amazed at the attachment I experience in myself in relationship to these perritos.
oh life life life. may we all sleep as we do. and wake with our birthdays.
the puppies will remember you, i guarantee it. they might forget your house in michigan (unless they tagged it :p everywhere), and they might forget your parents, but 1.5 weeks is nothing compared to however many weeks youve been feeding em. just make sure theyre fed well, and a bit chubby, since children need the extra umph to keep them running around for that long.
