Pseudo Pregnant Puppy

Well, Lila had an ear infection a couple weeks ago, and Eric was taking her in for a check up this last week. I asked Eric to talk to the vet about something we had noticed with Lila. So Eric asked the vet why Lila's teets seemed to be filling out like she was going to have puppies. The vet then informs Eric that our poor 1 year old puppy is pseudo-pregnant. Meaning....she THINKS she's pregnant, so her body prepares for puppies. So our dog is crazy. She has started building a nest for her imaginary puppies. After doing some research, we found out that her hormones are raging and tells her that she needs to prepare for pups. When she has her puppies, I'll make sure to post it, and put up fliers. Will anyone want one?

Getting started

I've been wanting to start a blog for quite some time, but haven't had the time. Since we don't live by any of our families, I hope this helps keep in touch with some of them. Eric is at a wrestling meet tonight, so I have a little time to get this started!

Eric and I have been pretty busy with high school sports and trying to sell our house. Eric is finishing up middle school wrestling and is right now at their conference meet. One of the worst thing about wrestling is how long meets last. Eric doesn't plan on getting home til late tonight.

We had two showings on our house last week after a really long spell of no showings. Both couples that visited seemed to like the house, but are just starting to look at houses. The housing market is really bad in Nappanee right now with the economy and all. We thrive on the RV industry up here and well, that's not going well. Anyway, we are hoping one of the two couples likes our house. We have an offer that was accepted on a house in September. It is closer to my school, which means less of a drive for me each day! Our offer expired in January on this house, and the owners took the hosue off the market, but they said they would still sell to us if our house sells.

Our Rottweiler puppy Lila is about a year old. She is getting fat and sassy! She weighs about 90 lbs now. She gets so excited when Eric comes home every day, but just looks at me, waiting on me to feed her. She is a very smart dog. She can sit, speak, and go "bang bang" which means we pretend to shoot her, and she rolls over on her back. She also knocks on the door when she is ready to come inside! I'm not a dog person, but I don't think I would trade her in :).

Well, Grey's Anatomy is on, and Eric is on his way home, so I'll wrap up this first post!
