                            we pine                          experienced 

                                           mama                     no drama

          great         
                       changes 
                                           we
                                                       would
                                                                        soon 
                                                                                       see

                                                                              pups indoors
                                                           pee-pee
                                         pours
                        poop
         piles

            bottle       feeding             eight                                   needy


                                     squirming                  tiny

                                    tyrants--but so 

               adorable       while     making          the              house          smell 

                                             deplorable               gotta go

                                                                 I know

                  they're hungry.
