Pyen Chi is Home!!!... Friday, July 13

Late last night Snickers and I headed out; we were Pyen Chi bound.  Just around 10:40pm we headed out knowing that it’d be a long four hour trip so we loaded up with late night coffee, packed several snacks, and we cranked up our tunes.  It was smooth sailing up until the last hour and a half, perhaps more, until we realized that we had hit the pure country of Korea.  One too many deer had jumped across the highway, inches from our van, so we were a bit spooked.  There weren’t much deer but there were definitely more deer than people along our journey down.

The plan was to drive to the city where Pyen Chi was on her “couple trip”, find a place to camp out and then get her in the morning.  The breeder was expecting us around 7am and although the ran meant we slept in the van and didn’t quite get a good sleep, we were wide awake by 6am. 

When we drove up to the dog breeder’s place the dogs in their cages instantly started barking at once and if you’ve even heard a mastiff bark than you know it’s an incredibly loud, deep, down-from-your-gut bark.

Our beautiful Pyen Chi was in the last pen with her boyfriend, Jang Geun, but she wasn’t looking quite so beautiful.  Her fur was all dirty, with chunks of poop and dirt on her paws.  She instantly recognized us, as did we, so she jumped up and I ran to her.  The breeder opened up her cage and out she came leaping.  She was so incredibly happy and the dog poop all over me from my head to my toes (literally!!!) was proof that she was so happy and I was too happy to care about just how smelly I was becoming. 

Snickers ended up bathing her a bit before we left… and me too. 

It was a long, smelly ride home but all of us in Bronco – Snickers, Balboa, Pyen Chi and me – we too happy to really care.  We raced all the way back to Cheonan and then we jumped in the shower to clean off Pyen Chi.

So now Pyen Chi is back – balance at Ggum Guum is restored;)

The vet told us that it’d be a few weeks before we can tell if Pyen Chi is pregnant or not.  I can't help but feel like I'm in a rerun of a "Sex in the City" episode, the one when Charolette freaks out on her dog Elizabeth Taylor for having had sex with some random pups at the park.  "Mommy can't look at you right now!", she told Elizabeth and I kind of felt a bit like that when I first saw Pyen Chi today.  Snickers claims Pyen Chi is a "women" now but I say just because you do the freak-nasty doesn't mean you're a woman, it just means you got your freak on.  My little girl is growing up and I don't like it.  I don't wish her to be a pup anymore but she's kind of lost her innocence... hahaha.


Anyways, in anticipation of her possibly being pregnant, Snickers and I sat down to watch a YouTube video of a dog giving birth… oh my gosh.  I turned my head and covered my eyes.  Snickers teased me by stopping the video right before the puppy fully came out, when it was still in a sack of liquid, and that grossed me out.  “Looks like jello” he commented.  I don’t think I’ll ever eat jello again!!!
