Remmy Research Paper

The moment is here. The moment that I wait for every day. Corralling six of the little additions to my family is always the best part of my day. My mom and I become filled with joy when we know it is time to play.
When we hear the bark of the mama dog, Remmy, we begin to get everything ready with excitement. The noise of Remmy indicates that my parents and I will spend an enjoyable amount of time together playing with the cutest puppies one has ever seen. My mom goes to the bathroom to get a few puppy pads from the closet and then walks back to the living room where she lays them down next to each other on the rug in the living room where the puppies will be placed. While my mom is doing that, I am going to retrieve the jean quilt that is

folded up on top of the dryer in our utility room. Once I get the blanket, I go to the living room to put it over the puppy pads that my mom had laid down.
As we run to put our shoes on and walk to the barn, we discuss how precious our white, lab puppies are.

Once we get to the pen where the puppies are kept, my dad opens the gate. The puppies perk their little heads straight up as we all say “hi guys!” in a squeaky, baby voice. Remmy always runs out of the pen as fast as she can to get away from her pestering babies. We eventually lift each puppy up one by one and set them on the concrete so they can walk around and use the restroom. We try to give the sweet babies as much time as possible to do their business because we do not want them to do it in the house or on us, which happens quite

often.
Slowly but surely we try to corral the puppies up to the house, as it is quite a ways form the barn, especially with their little legs. With each puppy going a different direction, we eventually begin picking them up and carrying them back to the house. I love holding the puppies because they lick my cheeks and make cute grunting noises as I am walking them back up to the house. My dad, mom, and I each carry two puppies all the way to our living room where we lay them on the blanket and they are finally free.
They begin to go crazy. Exploring each and everything in our living room. It seems that they do not stay on the blanket for very long. Some are under the couch, some are chewing on the blanket, some are whining as loud as they can, some are cuddling up right next to us, and of course, some are disposing of their waste wherever they please. It is definitely a sight to see! Such a great sight that the three of us have to get all of our phones out and take pictures, not wanting to miss a thing.
As we play, and pet, and grin from ear to ear, we can hear Remmy barking to come into the living room so she can take care of her puppies.

Play time is officially over. We carry each tired puppy to a big box my dad had made that is full of straw and sitting in our living room. We like to keep the puppies inside at night so they do not freeze outside when it becomes cool when the sun goes down. My dad goes to retrieve Remmy and she runs into the living room and hops in the box to be with her family. My dad always brings back a dog treat from the utility room to give to Remmy because she is such a good mother to them and she can never get enough

treats!
The rule at my house is to not get attached to all of them since they will be going to different homes eight weeks after they are born. That is extremely hard, however. Having a puppy can brighten anyone’s day, but imagine having six! Going through the daily ritual of playing with the puppies everyday definitely gives me something to look forward to and is a great way to end my day.
