The Tales of Lilly, The Mud Life Dog
I'll Tell You What I Want...
by Karen Lee Turner
Am I a bad mum? Read this tale, and then make up your mind At the beginning of the month I was invited to a friend's birthday party, so off I toddled leaving Lilly at home with her favourite person in the whole world, her Dad. I arrived at the venue, and even before I'd set foot in the place my friend greeted me with "Do you want a puppy?" "Err, not really I already have a dog." "Well you'll want one in a minute, we have wolf puppies." I had a very confused look on my face, until I went inside, and in a small ring set up on the side of the dance floor were 4 passed out Lupine puppies, and another 5 being cuddled and played with by guests. The reason - one of her friends couldn't come because of having no one to look after the puppies, so my friend just told her to bring them with her, so as a result we got an Adult Puppy Party. This needs to be a thing! I could not resist the chance to get my hands on one, and OMG they were fluffy. The one I got my hands on was a gorgeous bundle of flooooof called Tater-tot, but Tater-tot had other things on his mind, he just wanted to be off and meet all the other weird strangers that were within eyesight....oh so wiggly. After quite a bit of puppy wrangling I handed the little wiggle butt back, and joined other pals at a table, but I had to be facing the play pen to watch their antics.

Every now and then I interrupted conversations with exclamations of "Look that one's learned how to climb and is doing its own version of an escape room." and "Oh the white one is trying to catch its own tail, and has just fallen over it's own legs", but my favourite moment was when one of the white ones decided to show us all how good he/she was at doing a baby wolf howl. Oh....so....cute! After a while she took them home, and the party continued, and my mind forgot about teeny wolves.
