On a totally different Note, Sean and I have been talking about the dogs and how He thinks they don't need to be babied as much as I baby them because I'm ruining his hunting dogs. He has also said he wants them to start staying outside like regular large hunting dogs are supposed to. He's right, and I hate to admit that. These dogs were born and bread to hunt and it's in their nature to be high entergy and not to be lap dogs.
Sean suggested that maybe I should look into buying a lap dog for me to baby, that way his hunting dogs aren't spoiled and listen to him. I pondered the thought for a minute but then felt instantly guilty for thinking about getting another dog. My dogs are already jealous of each other. Last night I laid down on the floor to watch TV and there was an instant dog fight to see who could get closer to me. It ended in Birdie laying on my head.
I really don't want to betray my children but I want a puppy inside that I can love on and sleep with.
So what do you guys think? Should I just go without a inside dog, or introduce the Chocolates to a new sister or brother? Also, If I do get a lap dog, I want a small dog, that is very LOW maintance, meaning no hair cuts!! Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards a Wennie dog or a pocket beagle..
(And if Erin F. reads this, My dad said to totally not get a dog because You and Zack wish you hadn't...is that true?! ...but of course you know my dad is anti-inside animals and all he could think about getting stuck with another Gretchen!)
