I want my Puppy Back!!

I need money… anybody got some to lend.
This story starts about a year ago… My barren wife, and my lazy sperm caused us to say to each other, lets do something for the community with all our free time.

Well not two days later did we have a meeting with the Lions foundation, looking into fostering a potential guide dog.
Well after much discussion with the foundation, we discovered that with both of us working and me leaving for far off places on a moments notice, there is no way that we could meet the guidelines set out by the puppy program. Well we where sad. Then something good happened. Well we got a call, “We are starting a new program. We have been relying on the kindness of strangers for donations of both animals and funds. So we decided that we are going to start breeding our own dogs. We happen to have a bitch that needs a home, she will be a breeding bitch, no training, just have to take her in once or twice a year to get her bread.”
Uh??? Dog that we don’t have to train, other then common house and people manors. Good deal, we are helping the community, we are helping ourselves, and it’s a great cause. Wife and I both know people that require the assistance of helper dogs, whether it be for seeing or hearing or mobility, so we said sure. And two days latter we had Dancer in our lives…

So we for the last year have been living our merry lives. Just the 3 of us. And the two cats of course. But then it happened. Dancer came into heat. (Which has happened twice before, and if you have read some of my other blogs… looks like a turf war happened in my house) But this time is different. They are going to bread her this time. No problem, gets the dog out of the house for the worst time of her cycle. Trouble being, I left the province on the 6th of November, wife had to drop her off on the 9th, and she is still not home yet.
I finally talked to the Lions foundation today, and I was told that she finally accepted the male properly for the first time on Tuesday the 15th. Which means that they will now keep her and hump her till she says enough is enough, which probably will not happen until this weekend, which means that she will be coming home early next week.

I have not seen my dog for 2 weeks, the house is so empty, and I miss her. Now remember that it has only been for two weeks, but when she is due to give birth they take her for 7 weeks. I don’t know how I am going to handle this. 7 weeks without my puppy. It sucks. Keep telling yourself “Its for a good cause, you are helping the community” breath “Its for a good cause, you are helping the community” breath “Its for a good cause, you are helping the community”

Now why do I need the money… well I have decided that if we had two grand lying around… I would give the foundation the two grand, let them buy two dogs with it.. and bring Dancer home for good.

“Its for a good cause, you are helping the community”

Mark,

try using the time that Dancers gone to get baby stuff done, like painting the nursary, and shopping for cute little yellow teddy bears. And give your wife a foot rub. Then you wont be soo lonely.

Just a thought...

That's my girl! You need to take Aimee's advice my good friend! You will miss Dancer but take the time to do something special for your wife and new little arrival. So I guess that means not only are you gonna be a Daddy, I can also call you GRANDPA! Fun!

Linda, you are just too damn funny..lol. But alas, I feel your pain. As much as I bitch about the beagle in my life, I would miss him like crazy if someone took him away for 2 weeks, let alone 7. Maybe you should start one of those paypal donation thingies that I have seen on other blogs. You could call it the "I Want My Puppy Back" fund. With kind-hearted bloggers, you could have the two grand in no time!
