flash forward

today, my very lovely cousin natalie and her friends alexa and ariana did the sweetest thing! they offered to come over and bathe the puppies. they visited yesterday but the pups were sticky and smelt a wee bit funky so the trio decided to give them a bath! they came back today and i coordinated their visit from the office by remote control. texting home to let the help know when to expect them, and to let them in, and what to have ready etc. so nat and co. gave the pups a good scrub, then played with them in the sunshine. 

and that's when i had a scary flash forward where i saw myself with not puppies but living breathing children, run off my feet not in an office but at a hospital with no time for them myself but having to resort to the kindness of relatives to clean, feed and photograph my sorely neglected offspring. 

the worst part? i can't even sell the children once they're weaned like we're doing with the pups! oh nooo... ongoing responsibility that ONLY GETS BIGGER! dundundunnn...

how's that for a sobering thought!
