Puppy love

 Yesterday we went to a park today to meet people and socialize puppies.   We had mom and 3 puppies with us.  One of the boys asked, "where did you get them?"  I replied that they had been born at our house.   It dawned on me that people don't have puppies and kittens anymore, so this is a foreign concept to kids- that an individual might have litter of puppies born at their house.   

The boys really enjoyed meeting and playing with the puppies, and the puppies enjoyed them too.  Their own mother apologized for her kids disturbing us, but I told her that her kids were welcome and that the puppies were not for sale, so she was not in danger of having to be the one to say, no, you can't have one.  I think she was relieved to hear that.
