Dogs Hatching

On the kitchen counter was a bag which had a carton of eggs in it. Juliet was eating something with the eggs, and noted that she thought the eggs might be bad. As I looked in the carton, I saw eggs cracked open with faces smashed. The first I noticed was struggling to breathe so I quickly cracked the egg open. Inside was a little Lhasa Apso puppy and when I put her on the floor, she was about the size of Kahlua as a baby.

After I made sure the puppy was alright, I noticed another face. This looked like that of a cat, so I cracked that egg open. The sad part about this egg was that it was a cat head on an undeveloped body. All organs were exposed and there was no way it could make it. Feeling horrible, I knew what needed to be done. Against my feelings, I had to put the head on a paper towel which another towel on top to take the animal's life and end it's suffering.

At that point, I couldn't look in the bag anymore. I focused on the puppy, Kahlua and Pudgie were treating the little guy with respect and I worked on getting a puppy pen setup. Of course potty training was the first thing on my mind!
