confession: i really don't like the annoying factor of our dog.
she barks at everything. chases kids in bicycles if she's outside. she's a princess, apparently, bc pooping in the grass is too much effort at night and she prefers the deck so her pawas don't get wet. {stupid dog}
she's a poodle, so it's just one more woman in the house with a nasty attitude and opinion...but she tosses it out by peeing on the floor or pooping where i'll step in it {eeewww} and scream.
poodles are like rebellious teenagers.
but brooke loves the dog. when i say love, i mean loves with a real deep love. she prays for the stupid dog all the time...which may explain why she's still alive!
brooke has a connection with gabby...which i don't understand. gabby is annoyed by her...a lot! she nips at her bc she's old...she doesn't love and cuddle her...but she does pay attention to her when there are treats involved.
brooke has been taking gabby on walks...which in reality are "pulls" more than "walks". and brooke thinks they are great. gabby hacks up a lung the whole time and then dives into the water bowl...and both are happy and satisfied.
what do you do when the dog is annoying and making messes and just takes more time away from what little time you have? i don't know...i guess i'll send her on more "walks" with brooke.

Also explains why he has sneezing attacks after we leave grandparents house!
As for me...I'd moan and groan about the dog, but I'd keep putting up with it as long as my kids are happy...I'd put up with most anything.

I'm constantly fighting with my dog and the messes right now. If you figure it out, please let me know!
I love that they bark when the hubby's gone so I feel more protected, but when they bark all the freekin time, I want to smack the crap out of 'em!!
Ahhhhhh, the life of puppy parents.
