Itty bitty is so cute! Our itty bitty was Pete "PT" short for pocket toli because he was so tiny... he did not stay that way... she may not either. :)
Either way she is gonna steal somebody's heart!

Bought a new car battery instead, but will still get the car into the shop.

If the battery keeps dying, it might not be the battery ;) You usually see a battery going when it is really cold and the car won't start but once jumped, it runs. Except in a 2004-2009 Prius. The 12V doesn't have to start the engine, just open up the circuits and power them until the electric motor starts the gas engine. The "your 12V is dying" symptom is bizarre. You get a message telling you to put the car in Park (it does that itself when you power the car off) when you power off and open the door. Not a very helpful message.

More than likely the alternator isn't alternating :D or you have an electrical drain somewhere. If it dies while parked, something is pulling juice. Similar to when you forget to turn the lights off.

Yup.
My turn signal keeps going no matter what. So hopefully I can get it into the shop soon and it's a cheap fix for the turn signal and that's also what is causing the issue.
Was supposed to do it this spring....oops

That is so sad!!! Signalling a "turn" when you are driving and forget to turn it off is one thing but signalling a turn when you aren't even in the car???? I think I would disconnect the battery when done driving until needed again. Gets tiring jumping the car.

Used to be worse until I replaced the little control box connector, but something is still messed up. Before, it would 'windup' and then stop working, so I couldn't even use is when I needed to.

Used two of my tees, they really need to make a vest that scoops up all the teats and hides them from annoying pups.
Idk if it will stay on, if a pup won't rip it or fence won't rip it. But it seems to be working to getting the pups to move on. Now, if only mom would sleep on the raised path or anywhere but right near the pups.

Pups got microchipped!
All the girls didn't notice.
2 boys didn't notice.
But the last 3 boys had issues with it. One just whimpered a tiny bit, one yelped loud once and the last, poor little sensitive boy cried bloody murder and peed on me.... :(
I'll have to let the vet know that the boys are giant babies before their vaccines.
