by Wendy Thornton I not going to spend the next two months writing about the new litter of pups although I probably have toait on my hands to stop doing it now and men However something happened last night that I thought was kind of strange and it makes for a thought provoking kind of talc or the past week I ve been getting very little sleep with the mother dog wanting to drink feed or go out and the pups wanting mother to stop sitting on them And every now and thn a baby makes its way off the nest then sits on the bare floor and cries large pot put remaining ingredients cover with water and simmer two hours So last night I headed to bed early after doing all the feeding and letting out I hop ed would be needed Rut at In the den I found two puppies on the floor with Sue looking on worriedly After settling them back with the rest of the litter I lay awake for awhile trying to figure how to take the wooden camper off the back of the old wrecked truck and turn it upside down to make a box for Sue and her family It would be quite large but belter than nothing Then the phone rang It was Lorraine from the Press office Her first question and what a one for 11 clock at night was Could you use a whelping box She must have wondered why I sputtered a bit before answering but thai question coming at that time shook me a bn Anyhow the Meadows in Rock wood who have Black end Tans of their own had offered use of one if I needed it lay awoke for another Utile while after hanging up thinking lhat there must be some sort of moral to the tale but was loo tired to think what it might be Maybe just coincidence With the snow on the scene onto more I ve been digging out soup recipes The follow nt arc some that turned out a little belter than usual SIM IT PI- A SOIP j cup dried
