I have grand-puppies! My neighbors German Shepard (we have joint custody of the dog) had puppies! Get this-eleven (11) of them! 7 girls and 4 boys! I ended up with joint custody when Sissy (the female dog) went into 'heat' and we bred her with my German Shepard. It seems she likes it at my house more than at her own, so she is normally found here constatnly. Either way, about 1.30 pm I got another holiday surprise. Finally! I thought she was gonna try and hold them pups in till Christmas. My cat had her kittens on Mothers Day this year, and a few Christmas' ago is when I received a drop-off Irish Setter-some fool took him out into the country where I live, and dropped him off-completely housebroke, neutered, and a wonderful dog. So I am now at 5 dogs, 3 cats, and 11 puppies! Ain't life wonderful!!!
