The good, the bad… and the dogs.

So when we lived in Mertzon, the dogs were pretty much outside dogs. After Madelynn was born. The house just was not big enough for the 3 of us plus the dogs. Here, there is no fence to put them in so they have just kinda been inside all the time and let out to go to the bathroom. So far, its been 2 days that they have been here and it has been a complete disaster if I might say so myself.

First of all there is baby. I think that I have told you about her before… she has EXTREME attachment issues and SEVERE seperation anxiety. Nat gave her to me when she was a puppy and so it started. That would kinda be ok and not so annoying if I did not have a child to take care of now. She follows me all over the house and any time I stop, she sits down and looks at me like she is completely freaked out by life… I always think she is thinking oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh… I cant even explain it. It is horrible annoying to me!! She is extremely jealous of Madelynn and I cant touch Madelynn without her freaking out ad getting all up in our business. Needless to say, 2 days and I am VERY annoyed by her. I realize that someone has taken her place but crap… GET OVER IT!!! Madelynn is human. Baby is dog. Humans come first and baby does not understand that. Then there is Harley… She is just retarded. She cant comprehend anything, she doesn’t learn anything no matter how you work with her. That is difficult to deal with!!!

Ok. First day here, we left and ran to get some groceries… came back and the blinds in the front window were COMPLETELY tore up. We knew that they had done a number on our house. You have to understand… any time we have ever left them alone in the house for any amount of time, they have tore our house up!! For some dumb reason we just thought it would work out this time…. Wrong. They, once again, tore up the house. We were furious!! Were trying to give them a chance and let them be inside with us but that aint gonna work out!

Nat, grew up in the country, livin a country life.. Which Im sure as many of you know if your dog does something like that, you just take em out and shoot em or something mean like that.. So Nat has very graciously given in every time to keep the dogs but this time, I was done with them. I was ready to take em to the pound and be done with them. We slept on it. Woke up and decided we’ll just try to make it work, we want Madelynn to grow up with a dog and baby really is a great, very obedient dog. We got a huge kennel and that’s where they go when we leave. It worked!

Evening time rolls around, I am completely exhausted and have the energy to do nothing. Nat had to leave to go run an errand so I was just gonna wait till he got home and let him put Madelynn down cuz I really just did not have it in me. So apparently, I was so exhausted and out of it that I totally did not see right in front of me that one of the dogs had pooped and that my child was EATING IT!! I sat here awhile thinking man… it stinks. Never bothered to see why… eventually I kinda snapped back into life and I look down and see Madelynn making a face you would probably make if you were eating dog poop. Dog poop all over the couch, smeared all over the carpet. I was disgusted to say the least. So I quickly swipe the already chewed up dog poop out of her mouth, throw her in the tub, get her bathed brush her teeth/mouth and gave her some water to wash out the poop taste and put her to bed. I was in tears at this point… all that we have gone through with these stupid dogs… and now this??? My child ate dog poop. I got over it so some extent, I still am not completely ok. Nat got home and we talked about it and I calmed down…

Night time rolls around and I wake up around 5 (for the 18th time) to go to the bathroom and I hear this strange noise… I knew EXACTLY what it was… the dog was in the trash. I woke Nat up and we both went in the kitchen and there, all over the kitchen floor is tons of trash and food and diapers. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! We are trying so very hard to give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them to stay with us. But crap… how much more can we take of this?? Nat ventures into the living room and there is a pile of poop and pee. Oh joy!!! So we got the kitchen cleaned up and got the poop and pee cleaned up. Laying in bed I realized that I have yet to see harley go to the bathroom outside…. So what better than to do it inside right??? I don’t care how much you scrub on those nasty spots and how much you clean them… the thought of my child crawling on the floor where the stupid dog has pooped and/or peed is completely disgusting to me. So Im just about done with this… They cannot be inside. We have a little pin outside that they are gonna stay in till We figure out what were gonna do. Cuz I for sure 100% cannot deal with a one year old, a newborn, and 2 stupid dogs (that I dislike very much) Anyone want a dog??? They are good for the outside. Not the inside.
