The "Gracie May" Debate...

Sooooo...my precious little bundle o' pink...(well- not really, but she's the only other female I've got to cling on to in the house)...anyway, so she went to get her baby making equipment removed today. Can I just say BLESS her pea-pickin' heart?

After the LONG day at EmanciPet (we'll get into that later)....and after shivering all the way home like the part Chihuahua/Boston Terrier/Whateverelseintheworld that she is, and after getting to Nonie's house to pick up the boys, she had to endure the poking and prodding of said BOYS!!

The conversation was educational (I guess) and very informative (maybe) and well, it went a little something like this:

Moi: Boys, you must be careful with Gracie, she had surgery today and she's sore and doesn't feel well. It will be a while before you can wrestle around with her.

Fisher: Surgery? What surgery? What happened?

Moi: It's on her tummy see?

Fisher: SICK! What the world did you do that to her for? Huh, Mom?

Moi: Fisher, we had to have her baby making parts taken out so that she doesn't have any more babies.

Eli: She's not going to have any more babies?

Moi: No Dear, this is the best for everyone.

Fisher: Did they remove her yucky boobie things too?

Moi: What? No....no son, she still has her yucky boobie things. (After all, he must learn early on that just because we women must suffer tremendously there's no need for all that, right?)

Eli: Did they remove Huw Weenuw? (aka "Her Wiener", in Eli language)

Moi: No, Eli..she doesn't have a wiener.

Eli: She DOESN'T have a weenuw? Where did it go? What happened to it?

Moi: Eli...she NEVER had a wiener...she's a girl.

Sullivan: Huh, she doesn't? That's just silly. (Thank you for your little man input Sully!!)

Good LORD in heaven above. Now, I know that most folks believe that God only gives you what you can handle...but REALLY? Now tell me how I'm going to handle this conversation in say oh....just a few short years down the road when it's a fer real conversation Y'all. I can't barely explain why they don't cut off boobies and why girls don't have WEENUWS!!

But really, thanks to EmanciPet for their incredible selfless work they do day in and day out to make it more affordable to get your animals spayed and neutered. As a non-profit organization they need all the help they can get in donations. After $177 for shots, hysterectomy, and all the other hullabaloo, I could only afford to donate $20.00, but I'm sure they were thrilled, nonetheless. The ladies were very helpful, very knowledgeable and gracious and kind. Now because it was non-profit it's in a scary place with scary surroundings, but we got through all of that...my little Gracie and me. She is back home and recovering well...please be thinking of her tonight when her rest period is over and the boys return home to "check out her SICK wound"!!
