We don't need one. We have Audrey.
Seriously, though. I don't think I'm the only mom who doesn't want a dog. But am I the only mom who feels tremendous guilt at times that I'm depriving my kids their ultimate childhood dream? My only hope that I haven't scarred them for life is the fact that Sadie recently announced she still thinks dogs are cute but she doesn't want one anymore. This after years of begging. Jackson almost holds a grudge against me. Audrey is still in the desperate for a dog stage. Justin will be close behind, I'm sure.
I won't list the other 141 reasons but some of them have to do with dirty dogs.....stinky dogs.....dogs who jump up on visitors.....the loss of freedom to travel or go anywhere anytime because you gotta find someone to take care of The Dog.....dog hair everywhere.....they don't use toilet paper and 30 seconds after they poop or pee they jump up on your couch - blech.....okay, the guilt is subsiding again.....
I honestly think if we lived somewhere else besides Florida, I would maybe consider it. I just don't want an inside dog and it's just too hot in the summer here and I would feel guilty for making it stay outside.
Do they sell air-conditioned dog houses?
