Wordless Wednesday: Choose The Title Of This Post, Please

This is not going to be wordless. Guess I shouldn't have posted it under this category. But here we go.

I couldn't think of a good title for this post but had several ideas. Which do you think is most appropriate?

Testing The Theory That God Won't Give Us More Than We Can Handle
(no, "testing" and "God" in the same sentence are frightening)

Conspiracy Theory: My Husband Had It All Planned- He Didn't Think I Had Enough To Do Around Here
(no, no. He's too sweet for that. I think. Kenton? You didn't do this on purpose. Did you?)

The Straw That Broke The Camel's Back
(no, no. not quite. not even close. things could be worse. a lot worse. that's for sure.)

@$!#%@!!* #@!*&!$@#!@!++
Sorry about that. This is a family-friendly blog. That title will forever remain encoded.

Four More Reasons Why I Have No Time For Blogging
(true, true.)

I Prefer The Edible Type Of Chocolate

(hmmm... not bad, not bad)

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors- Why I Wish THEY Had One
(no, no. too bitter. i am not bitter. i am not bitter. i am not bitter.)

My To-Do List Just Grew 16 Feet
(that one. that's a good one.)

No Matter How Hard You Try, Denial Will Not Make The Problem Go Away
(nope- but that is the reason you, my dear reader, are just now hearing about this....)

I bet Bethany could come up with something especially clever. She's good at that. (you must stop by her blog sometime!)

I'm sure some of you have already guessed what you're going to see in the pictures below. Remember THIS POST? If you can't see it, it's because it was a "friend's only" post. You didn't miss much, trust me. I just needed to vent a bit. To sum up the circumstances leading up to this post, I will just say that despite being very careful (except for one minor slip by dh of leaving her chained up UNsupervised for 5 minutes), our dog never ONCE having left our yard during her entire heat cycle (YOU try that with a SIBERIAN HUSKY!) added to neighbors whose dogs have the run of the neighborhood- neighbors whom Animal Control knew with only the mention of the road they live on, neighbors who've been cited for not keeping their animals properly restrained, neighbors who don't care that Kenton has to pick up their dogs' poo in OUR yard (hmm... should we return their "gift"? no. i'm not bitter. i'm not bitter.), neighbors whose dogs, two days after The Incident, were back in our yard YET AGAIN (and numerous times since) after Kenton talked to them about the situation (not an easy thing to do for a non-confrontational person).... all of that leads up to where we are. Are Christians allowed to get angry about things like this? Or is being "dumped on" (literally) to be tolerated? I envy those Christians who can so easily forgive and move on. I will send you my neighbors. They will challenge your character. I guarantee it.

Anyway, we now have this and the rest of this post shall remain wordless in accordance with the "Wordless Wednesday" code of ethics:

What a neat experience for your children!! Seriously! I remember watching my friend's dog give birth and loving those puppies and standing at the grocery store trying to give them away! (WalMart is good for that by the way...). Are you going to get her fixed or were you hoping to breed her?

Hey Rachel! :)
I love people who can always find the good in things! Sometimes in the midst of trials our vision gets cloudy. :)

Yes, it has been a neat experience for the children so far. They were able to witness the last pup being born (the last one pictured). Noosh had her other pups all during the 2 previous nights while we were sleeping... except one that I saw her give birth to, but that one was stillborn. She had 3 pups that died. The first two, I'm sure, were due to her age & inexperience. She had given birth to three during the night & two of them you could tell she didn't even try to chew through the cord or placenta. They were kinda cute too. Kenton "got rid" of those before the younger children were up. They did see her stillborn pup though and buried it next to Bear, our OLD dog that died a few years ago. It even has a little tombstone. ;)

We are not going to get her fixed, although it sounds SO nice not to have to mess with all of this. We would like to breed her... but not till she's two. She'll need to recover from this. She is SO bony. :( My poor dog. Anyway. She's an AKC papered dog & if she'd been bred with an AKC husky, we could've sold her pups for $600-700 each.

I have already started a webpage to sell these pups. LOL!

Love, Alyssa

I had it figured out somewhere between the 3rd & 4th title.

Sorry, no other titles come to mind at the moment, but I'll let you know if I come up with something! Thanks for the plug, btw.

Maybe you could give them away as Sunday-school teacher gifts? Paper boy? Piano teacher? It would be more creative than a mug of chocolates or whatever else you might give. :-)

Yeah, I think you needed more to do.

Well, they are cute. Not sure how you could get cuter. Especially those brown ones. I'm sure they won't be too hard to find homes for. Do your kids like them? Sorry about your neighbors.

What are the pups mixed with? I know Husky but what else? I have never seen such adorable newborn pups pictures like these! Our 2 year old German shepherd is in heat right now. A royal pain in the butt. We are still trying to decide if we want to breed her.

Hi Sweetie!

Just wanted to let you know I was here, I did visit. I don't have much computer time lately, but 'tis the season, so who can complain?

Loved the new photos of Julianna - beautiful, as usual. And the photography ain't bad, either. *grin*

Millie and Josiah look like they had a ball at the zoo - I especially like the first photo.

Okay, seriously? Because you *need* more to do, right? Hey, that's a good title, lol.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friend, and I'll visit again when I can. I, like you, have become as much of a lurker as a commentor lately. I don't feel too bad about it, as it's all seasons. This is just a particularly busy season right now. Ebb and flow, and all that jazz. =o)

love,
Shani

Jennifer! LOL!!! No... I would be SHOCKED if I got pregnant this soon! :)

Bethany- I LOVE that idea! The SS teachers wouldn't mind, would they? ;) Ha, ha!!

Cathy- my children LOVE these pups! I really should post a pic of one of them dressed up in the shaggy dog costume and how the pups flock to them! It is SO funny! No, a video would be better...

Anon- They are Husky & Chocolate Lab mix. They are pretty cute, I'm having to admit lately. I swore they'd be ugly- it just didn't sound like a cute mix. Dogs in heat ARE a pain. German Shepherds are beautiful dogs!

Shani! So good to see you! I've been lurking on your blog to see where you've been too! I miss you! :) Yes, been SUPER busy here too. I totally understand. HUGS!

Love, Alyssa

I had been wondering what had happened with all of that. Our 1 1/2 yo dobie just went through her 2nd heat cycle and I was so afraid something was going to happen. How frustrating. But how cute are those pups? : )

Shucks, they are awfully cute. Why does God take something that we want to continue to be annoyed by and make it irresistable? I'd like to know!
