One Of Those Days

Surely I can't be the only person out there who wants to fast forward some days because they're so awful. :S And boy, have I had one of those days.

It started out innocently enough. I woke up to find my husband downstairs with his father's day gift - a beagle puppy that he finally talked me into getting. I knew right off he wasn't in a good mood. The little darling we named Aphrodite - Dite for short - was nearly house trained we were told.

(laughing hysterically)

Obviously their idea of "nearly" isn't our idea of "nearly".

Going through a doggie door isn't the same thing as house trained. No, the little darling that had been sleeping in a crate with her brothers would be just fine, we were told. Not so. She howls all night long. Its like having another baby in the house. We expected her to have some accidents, just not as many as she's been having.

So, my husband had to give Dite a bath first thing the morning, after giving her a bath last night because she stayed outside with us yesterday while we played in the pool. Needless to say, I should have known the day wouldn't be good.

One of my requirements for getting a puppy was to wait until our son was potty trained. Well, we got the tee-tee done in a week. (wooohoooo!!!), but the other...well, let's just say it isn't going so nicely 3 months later. Well, he decides that today is going to be the day that he leaves me little surprises in his undies all day long.

Combine that with a puppy that is leaving me little surprises all day long and...you have a catastrophe.

Ugh.

I remember it being so easy to train our Chihuahua. I was sure hoping Dite would be just as easy. :(
