We went and got a dog.
It all started at Cici Pizza. Petco is next door. We ate at Cici and after, Evan suggested going to Petco to let the kids see the animals. Somehow, somewhere, Camie convinced Evan to get a guinea pig. She, of course, would have to earn it, but it would be attainable.
I do not want a pet. I especially do not want a guinea pig. If that thing got out of its cage, I would have to touch it. And it would of course get out of its cage.
I told Camie I would rather have a dog than a guinea pig. And my kids know how bad I don't want a dog. We will never have a dog. The only way I would have a dog is if I was a single lady and feeling the need for protection. Dogs are gross, dogs stink, and dogs really don't serve any purpose. And, you have to interact with them
I don't know what happened after that. Camie somehow got a hold of Evan. She worked her magic and convinced him to let her earn a dog. Evan is allergic to dogs (or so he says) and has also said we would never have a dog.
One night while sitting together at the dinner table, Evan told the girls that we could get a dog if they could earn it.
What?
I wasn't privy to this news beforehand.
So Camie earned her points and Taneal searched in Internet high and low for dogs.
Then Nathan had his problems with being allergic to cats. I had him tested and he is also allergic to dogs. However, the allergist said a poodle, maltice, or shih tzu would probably be fine. And he isn't super allergic to dogs like he is to cats.
With points earned, how could I say no? I do way too much for my kids.
We found a dog on Craigslist. And we bought it.
We got a maltipoo. She she grow to be about 10 pounds. Right now she is just under 4. She is 2 months old. And not potty trained.
My kids are in love. She is a gross dog. My kids are in love. She pees on my floor. My kids are in love. She poops on my floor. My kids are in love. She whines at night being left in her kennel.
But my kids are in love. And what you going to do about that?
