I *heart* puppies
i held a human heart in my hand yesterday. true, it hadn’t been beating for a very long while, but it was amazing. i think i was most impressed at the pericardial sac that protects it in the chest wall. what a tough, strong covering! be good to your heart — it’s important and so pretty.
puppies are coming home today. i’m more nervous about the responsibility i’m diving into than excitedly looking forward to puppy breath. the house is “proofed” and the yard will follow soon. pictures will obviously be coming up ASAP, but even 50 puppies wouldn’t be enough to replace the cuteness of the Madd-ster.
i hope to get to that the post office is open today. i have a few things i want to mail to some special people (including about a dozen postcards!) and if they don’t get out today… i’m not sure when i’ll have time/transportation next.
EDIT: post office apparently used to be open for a half day on Saturday, but is now closed. i have no idea when this stack of postcards and stuff are ever going to get out! bummer.
enjoy your weekend! it’s the last one you get this month! : ))

I can’t believe I am actually jealous looking at the pic of your book! Ha ha!
How would you describe the pericardial sac in comparison to something I would know? The only human organ I have touched is a placenta and those membranes (and the cord) was much different to what I was expecting – a lot tougher and stretchy, kind of like very thin latex.
Sweet. Loving your posts…..

I’m excited about your incoming puppies, yet I know the trouble they can bring. Are they “island dogs”? For some reason, the dogs that live on this island are all a little insane. Puppy proof, but be prepared for them to tear down your puppy-proofed fortress! Good luck! :)
