Puppy Drama

The next few days were filled with a lot of crying (Did I say a lot of crying!!!!) and puppy stress. The puppy love had ended for me!!! I was sick of the nightly barking...... The accidents.... Standing out in the freezing cold weather during the night saying "go potty, go potty, GO POTTY!!! Then to finally come in the house and guess what??? Copper decides to go potty!!! The days were spent with compulsive cleaning and hand washing (So much that my hands were raw...) By day 3 I was done!!!! I gathered up everything there was in my house to do with a dog and took a picture.... This little guy was going on KSL as a package deal!!! The puppy and the puppy starter kit...... (Don't worry everyone I have totally sanitized my entire house!!!)
After I took the picture a little red headed boy got home from school... He immediately asked "Why is all that stuff on the counter?" Sawyer shouted out "Because we are selling Copper!!!!"

Bryson ran right into his room and started sobbing uncontrollably. I went and tried to comfort him.... He asked why we were selling the dog? I told him "Because I didn't know anything about dogs." He then said "Dad knows about dogs! He had lots of dogs when he was little he had a dog named Zipper!" Then I told him "Dogs cost so much money and Mommy doesn't have enough money for the dog." Bryson said "I have lots of money I never use I will pay for the dog!"

After trying every excuse I could think of I finally felt so bad..... I said "WE WILL KEEP THE DOG!"

Bryson then went around telling everyone "I saved Coppers life!!!"

*** And I got no where.... except feeling like an awful Mom!!!!!
