What's A Girl To Write?

I'm sitting at the computer...fingers stroking the keyboard... staring at a blank page that begs to be filled.

Buuuuuuut. I'm drawing a blank.

I suppose that I could write about spending two evenings in the dark, dank, mudfilled underbelly of my parent's house trying to save the litter of puppies trapped there. I could tell you about Katie and Dee having to crawl on their bellies through the labrynth of support beams to retrieve them and scoot them back to me since my boobs were too big to fit through the crawlspace.

I could also mention how Katie inadvertantly locked us in the basement and had to then maneuver around a pipe filled hole in the brick wall to get outside and free us. Momentary panic was replaced with relief at the sight of the last bit of her body freeing itself from the hole and escaping to the outside world.

It' s been a long couple of days and I still have dirt up my nose and all over my clothes (all of you southerners know what it's like to have to deal with red clay...imagine it in your hair, your nose, your clothes, in your bra....ugh.) Poor Kate and Dee got the worst of it.

So there you go. A completely boring and lackluster post. Give me some time to rest and I'll be back to normal...if the clay hasn't gotten to my brain.

You should really post about that....not so much about the clay up your nose, but why was there a litter of puppies under your parents house, how did you find them, and how did you get locked in the basement? Your life readsd like comedy scripts.

Aww - did you keep any of the puppies and join the world of the non-sleepers?

Red clay ... ugh. It gets everywhere and won't come out of your clothes!!

I'm glad the babies are all right.

Awww...You saved puppies! You're my hero!

Hopefully, you weren't wearing much white? Red Clay laughs in the face of Clorox!

Princess...my parent's dog decided to have her puppies under the house for some reason. Bad thing was...my parent's had to move and had to be out of the house by yesterday so we HAD to get them out. Couldn't wait until they were big enough to follow their mom out.

When I say basement...it's less of a basement and more like a dirt cellar. Seriously. You crawl through a little space below the house into a small mud filled area. Mud walls, mud floor...etc. Directly above you are all the support beams and a dirt floor. There was only about a foot of space in height for her Kate to manuver through so she crawled on her belly across the dirt to get to the puppies who of course had to be in the MIDDLE of the fucking house. We got them all out safely though it took two trips and we got them to a local animal rescue that takes in puppies to find them homes.

And I can't remember how the hell Kate locked us in the basement. I just remember a lot of cussing.

All this post proves is that you are a natural, a so-called blank is still well worth reading!

I can't say that I've had to crawl under a house, but one time my aunt had a cat that had kittens and somehow got into the attic and there was one kitten that got awaw into a very hard area of the attic and my cousin had to fit through a small crawl space to get to it and had to use one of those loop thingy's that go around it's neck to get it out. He was covered in insulation and itched for days. Yours sounds like it was alot dirtier and icky. I hate that red mud, along with the spiders and insects down there. At least you got the puppies out.
