At the top of the kids Christmas list this year is a dog. Everyone in the house wants a dog...except me. Grandma Kate is not even on my side. I agree, it would be the most amazing Christmas morning ever to have a puppy dog, with a big red bow around its neck, under the tree. The first few days, the kids would fight over who gets to sleep with the dog in their room, they would be so kind and want to feed the dog, take it for walks, snuggle with it. Then...in a few weeks, when I ask someone in the house to go out and pick up poo, I'll get the "but mo-om..." "That's gross", "its not my turn", blah, blah, blah.
Don't get me wrong, puppies are cute, dogs are fun and every kid needs to have a dog to grow up with but really...Its like having another kid, isn't it?
I'm sleeping on the idea, for one more night.
