Letter to Oreo

Dear Oreo,

It's been over day since I last saw your cute little face, your big brown eyes and big clown feet. I'm sorry I wasn't there to say good-bye, I'm sorry you had to go but you must understand that I had to choose Luna over you. She has been with me for 12 years and counting, she has watched me grow as I have watched her. I don't understand why you didn't like her, why you kept fighting with her and hurting her. I know that she can be a little mean because she doesn't like to play but that is no reason to snatch her food/treats away, that is no reason to attack her and hurt her.

I loved you dearly and it was hard for me to say enough is enough. You and I know that I tried to train you, we gave you time and love but you just would not listen and I don't understand why. We treated you no different from Luna and Pucca. We spoiled you as we spoiled them, we let you sleep on the bed and cuddle with us whenever you wanted. We kept you indoors and worried about you every day as we did with them. We loved you as our own but you just could not accept Luna as your big sister.

I will always love you, remember you... I know you will find a wonderful home. Who can say no to your cute little face. I will always remember how you would watch me get ready in the morning, cuddle with me in the middle of the night and run to the door to greet me after a long day of work. I will always remember your silly little ways, like when you would sleep on the couch's back, how you would sleep under the bed and how you would sleep on my feet. How you would jump into the pool, sit on the steps and just look around enjoying a warm California day. I will miss you as my running partner, you were so good at running with me and you never pulled or tired.

I miss you and love you Oreo, I'm so sorry you had to go,

Your foster mom.

And so it begins...

What is one thing that all mothers fear for their daughters?

I would have to say... starting their period!

Why?

Because then this means that they are no longer your little girl. They're grown up and oh my goodness they can get pregnant now!! That is so scary!

All of you already know though, I do not have kids yet. So why am I so worried?

Simple... it's because of this face...

Our foster puppy Oreo who JUST turned one is now in heat! She got her first doggy period! Pucca never got her period because we fixed her. So now we have to go through this with Oreo. Oh that poor puppy! We were going to just keep her outside but since I just couldn't bring myself we went to Pet's Smart in hopes to be able to find something for her little problem.

And we did!! Yes, those are puppy diapers! 

From the left: Luna, Pucca and Oreo. They were smelling them wondering what it was we brought home. I think Oreo had an idea of what this could be since she started to want to sneak away. Who could blame her though...



Oh she does not look happy at all! But this is what needs to be done until I find out if she is going to get fixed by her owners. That or keep her outside and that will just break my heart to do that to her. So, Oreo is now wearing a diaper around the house. She's actually leaving it on which we did not think would happen. I hope this doesn't last too long.

I keep wondering if she has cramps. If she feels fat and if she is PMSing. I for one think that maybe she is PMSing since she got in a fight with both Pucca and Luna today before dinner. I wonder what her cravings are so that we could get her whatever her little heart desires. Too bad we have no idea so we just give her a few extra treats.
