The Top 10 Things I Have Learned From Stuart

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

10.  That "Rescue" doesn't mean cheap.  Between a very high adoption fee and his vet bills - we have $1,000 dollar puppy with no known medical history.  Never thought I'd say it but I'm getting insurance on this little guy.

9.    That puppy mills are very evil places and we must do more to enact laws that will stop the horrid treatment of animals and punish those that would starve a baby like this.

8.    That we all need to educate our family and friends about puppy mills and stop the purchasing of animals from pet stores.  They wouldn't stay in business if they didn't make money. 

7.  That Stuarts personality is nothing like Rooney's and is only going to add to the joy, laughter, fun, oh and work to our lives.  LOL - He is a rambunctious little guy!

6.  That I have a wonderful husband who gets the Little Green Machine out, scoops poop and pitches in without being asked.  (O.K. - I already knew this one but I have to give him a lot of credit for putting up with me and my crazy ideas)

5.  That even though I can't spell worth a darn I am now throwing words like Giardia and Coccidia around like a pro.

4.  That "sharp" is a relative term.  I thought that Rooney's baby teeth were sharp - Stuart's teeth are like pirrahna teeth -     little shards of needles - ouch.

3. That trying to "catch" poop on a paper plate is a sport.  There is an art to it and I'm learning fast.  My neighbors must think I'm a nut as I walk around the yard with a tiny puppy, rubber glove on one hand and paper plate in the other.

2.  That Rooney IS going to be happier having a brother to love and play with.

1.  That I am getting more from loving Stuart than he is getting from me.  Love runs deeper when you have no expections.  I'm learning that I can handle more than I thought when it is done out of love!

Stuart looks too cute to be real. Good to hear that things are settling down a little and the vision of you following him around with a paper plate is just hilarious but genuis. I am so looking forward to video of Stuart and Rooney together with no gate between them.

Jane, can Rooney shoot a video of the paper plate episodes?? So funny! (sorry) You sound so happy! I love this picture-I can see how he stole your heart!

Good for you Jane! sounds like you have your hands full with this little guy. He's worth it though, he looks like a teddy bear in this photo. I want to squish him.
