They Grow Up So Fast Open Thread

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on March 24, 2009 at 3:00 PM in Current Affairs, Open Thread

You asked for it, you got it! PUPPIES!!!!! I apologize that you cannot hear their barking and growling – I don’t have a real video camera, so these will have to do. But, they are mighty, mighty cute, don’t you think?

OH! So far, one of the vet techs at our very good vet want’s one. I’m hoping that when we take them in for their four weeks check-up, some others there won’t be able to resist. Take a look – could you??

I hope this is a nice distraction from whatever the current crapola is going on in the world…

Aren’t they?? Oh, I wish I had a real video camera so you could HEAR them – they are SO funny growling and barking at each other!

And they are teething now, so they are chewing on everything (like shoelaces, sweaters, whatever’s handy)!

Hey, I’ll deliver!!!

merci bien, danke, grazie! I’m at last content. So absolutely adorable, so sweetly comical. If only I could smell that new puppy smell.

If you bring them to California, I’ll take ‘em lol. They just have to get along with my gals too! I am SO dying for those babies. Ughhh…I wish I could have 100. And, yes, we need to do this in smell

That would be an interesting road trip, wouldn’t it?!?

And CG, you’re right – they totally have that puppy breath thing – and their little bright eyes looking back is SO sweet!

RRRA,

Don’t worry that your videos don’t have sound. What I want is someway to send smells across the internet. My very favorite smell in the entire world is puppy breath.

Hey, don’t forget we are coming to Italy in April – sounds like the PERFECT present to me!!

And Nancy, your guess is as good as mine! There’s DEFINITELY some hound in there – Lucy (the mom) howls like the dog int eh “Fox and the Hound” Disney movie! (Oh – and the mom is abt 45 lbs – not too big…)

Oh, Diana – I wish I could send you some of that puppy breath – it is so sweet!!

Since this is an open thread, here is someone I founf in the comments at HB in an article about the stupid pledge weekend Obama had (which also caused more trolls to bother us again, like THAT helps makes us like Obama’s plans more) http://www.al.com/birminghamnews/stories/index.ssf?/base/news/1237709752152800.xml&coll=2
Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama’s vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.

“We’re looking for supporters,” said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event’s organizers. “We’re not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army.”

ARMY?? Do they mean the Obama Hilter youth the Give act will creat?

OH AMY!!! I am just sad the clips are short! I could watch them ALL DAY!!!! How do you write your stories???
Peggy Sue

ARMY?? That’s a chilling coment. And what then, CAMPS?

These people of frigging crazy. Fortunately, I didn’t see any loony-tunes this weekend. But I fully prepared to tell them to get off my property.

Incredible!

And Rev. Amy: the pups are too, too cute. That fleece bed is the same thing my one “big” [hundred pound] puppy uses. Bought it at Pet Smart.

Cute vid!

The camps are part of the GIVE act, but they changed the word Camps to campuses because it didn’t sound as scarey. uniforms too

Oh they are so adorable. I love watching puppies play and roughhouse together. I want one too. Any chance you are coming to the Denver area?

Now if I could afford to buy land. What I really want is to run a horse, dog and goat rescue.
Jackarooty

Amy, Amy Amy! Thank you! They are sooooooooooo cute and I can’t believe how much they have grown! They are just in awe and wonder of everything!
It reminds me of an old Gary Larson cartoon of a man walking a dog and the thought balloon above the dog as it was sniffing the surrounding area was “what’s that?” “what’s that?” “what’s that?” “what’s that?” “what’s that?” “what’s that?” “what’s that?”

Keep us posted!
Prem

RRR – thanks ever so much for sharing these cute, cute videos. The pups look strong, healthy and happy—it’s certainly obvious they are in a loving environment with you! Enjoy!

How adorable are thise little guys!
Lyn

You don’ t happen to be going to Phila or NJ any time soon do you?
arran

(I have a brother/sister duo of 8 year old Siamese cats.)

Anyway, they are cute, smart, and loving when they are older too. Mine growl at, chase, and groom each other. Take 2 or more of these pups for twice the fun!

OK so we are beyond broke as a Country and in trillions of dollars debt BUT there is a bill to make Newspapers NP????? WTF? http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2009-03-24-non-profit-newspapers_N.htm
Senator proposes bill to offer non-profit status to newspapers
By Larry Margasak, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Struggling newspapers should be allowed to operate as non-profits similar to public broadcasting stations, Sen. Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., proposed Tuesday.
Cardin introduced a bill that would allow newspapers to choose tax-exempt status. They would no longer be able to make political endorsements, but could report on all issues including political campaigns.Advertising and subscription revenue would be tax-exempt, and contributions to support coverage could be tax deductible.

I’m a Linda too

OM, they are so adorable! Thank you for the smiles. Gee, I’d love to pick one up and hug. SO CUTE!
Ferd Berfle

That will come later, when we have an army.

An army of bots is still comprised of bots. What are they going to fight the American public with, their beanies, armbands, and teleprompters?

There’s no better fragrance in the world than that of a puppy’s little face. My puppy will be 5 years old on the 31st, but I still remember how, the first night I brought him home, he slept on my chest with his tiny face next to mine. Bliss!

Those are just the sweetest, cutest babies ever! Thanks for sharing!
Portia Elizabeth

They’ll use the guns we don’t have.
This is truly chilling. If they think like that, even if it’s independent thought, I’m feeling very, very threatened.
Is it paranoia if they’re really out to get you?

Susan, it is very hard to write! They make the cutest sounds even when they’re sleeping.

Unfortunately, I probably will not be going to Denver, but Philadelphia or NJ aren’t out of the question!

PE, what a sweet story! I can just see it, especially since I have had the opportunity of one of the little pups falling asleep on me…

LOL, Sonic – they really have grown a lot. They are still getting their legs under them, but in the meantime, it is so much fun to watch them roll around with each other…

Seattle Moss, glad to give you a break after a long day!

Prem – I LOVE Siamese cats! Thanks for that!

That is some super puppy food you are feeding them–how did they get so big so quickly?

Rev Amy,
After a long day driving across the state it’s nice to come home to some cute videos of your puppies.
http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

ROTFLMAO – you have hit the nail on the head!

And you’re welcome – so glad you enjoyed the pups, Jackarooty! Yes,they have grown a LOT – it is really astonishing since they aren’t even 4 weeks old yet (that’s Sunday). They are delightful!
I’mFedUp

Please, please RRRAmy, consider driving those babies to CA for me. I can’t stand looking at them again. I want those gorgeous babies.
WhatNow

Rev Amy,

The puppies are so cute and lovable. I enjoyed watching them play and eat. I keep saying I’m going to get a puppy, it’s on my “to do” list.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh -dang…puppy breath! I love puppy breath. That darker brown one doing the splits while eating is too cute. He needs me to pick him up and snuggle him for a few hours!
