Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
I got the dog!!!!!!!!!!!! After EVERYONE telling me NOT to get the dog - stupid, henceforth known as me - went out yesterday and got the dog.
Why??????? School holidays are here and after Elysia asking all her friends who could come over in the holidays NOBODY could! Her best friend was spending EVERY day of the holidays with her horse - (why wouldn't she invite Elysia along, beats me!) Other friend, going away, other friend was going to be busy (don't know doing what??). Poor kid, we live near the playing fields and every Saturday all you can hear is the cheering from the soccer mums and dads!
So..... Stupid went out and brought the pup, it's a female terrior, but the German Shepherd is obviously NOT a happy boy. I'm exhausted from spending all weekend with him, walking him, playing with, treats, attention attention attention! Tonight he was inside as he usually is but upstairs with hubbie while the little girl was down stairs with her mum (Elysia - who is in heaven and haven't seen her this happy in a long time) - Elysia took the little girl into our laundry while I brought the boy downstairs to have a sniff around before taking him back outside, (we have a huge undercover area which is all his with his bed and he sleeps inside at night next to our bed.)
Well he had a good sniff around especially where the new pups bed is, lifted his leg AND PEED ALL OVER MY CURTAINS!!!!!!!!! I was remarkably calm, I didn't scold him, just told him no and put him outside and proceeded to scrub everything clean. I'VE NOW MADE A ROD FOR MYBACK!!!!! What have I done!!!!! I'm on the dog forums reading like crazy about how to introduce a new pup, most people just tell me off, for heavens sake we're not the first family in the world to get a second dog!!!!! Okay - German Sheppard Killer and tiny little princess.
I just had to share this with you all as I know I provide a good laugh to everyone with my pathetic life!!!! And my stupidity!!!!!!
As hubbie and I stood at our window and looked out onto our front lawn, there lay Elysia on the grass with this little lady on her chest, happiest girl in the world..... I said to hubbie, "One very happy girl - one very stressed mother - one very jealous dog - one very stupid husband" - he started it all if you remember by giving into her when she woke up from surgery and saying okay to the request for the dog.
Oh well, I just look at myself in the mirror and shake my head. I hope I can get this worked out so I don't have to spend the next 12 years playing mediator between these two dogs.
Note: - Elysia wouldn't even try to bend before this - 9 weeks post op - guess who's bending and moving about like she never had surgery!!!!!!! Pets as therapy!
Sending out cyber love to everyone
