10/13/2008: "Penelope Petunia & Berta Buttercup"

I'm so thankful for these rainy days so I can stay home with Berta. She's 12 days old, her eyes are open and she's a fat little pig. Being the only pup she doesn't have to fight for a nipple but I fear Penny won't have enough milk to last until she's weaned. Penny sure looks like she's drying up to me but everytime Berta eats her belly gets full and she has milk coming out her nose so "so far, so good."
It even looks like Penny is finally done trying to carry her around by her head and might even leave her in the birthing box instead of insisting she sleep on my bed all night. She has fallen off 3 times now so that has to stop.
Last night I began my night of t.v. watching with America's Funniest Home Videos. The laughter I experience for the whole hour is so good for my soul, and then having Extreme Home Makeover next takes care of the compassion for others that we all need. That teacher sure deserved all she got and her children did too. Imagine being so ashamed of your house that you won't even let your friends come over. I've certainly been there, even to the point of moving into a tent because it was better than the house we were renting at the time.
