My poor baby

My boys have wanted a puppy or a kitty for the longest time. When we moved to PG 3 years ago this month I told them we would get a puppy. To our surprise I got prego, yeah!! I thought, good excuse to tell the boys... sorry no pets around a new baby, plus mom will have her hands full... how could I take care of a dog? Well time has passed and they are now bugging me again, what to do? I am for sure not getting pregnant again!!!!
So I've used these reason's every time they ask......

1. Cute little puppies whine and bark all night long

2. Kitty's grow up to be big cat's with "Attitude"

3. We need a place to put a dog, cause it ain't coming in my house!

4. We need to put up a fence to keep the dog in the yard and then we need a kennel

to keep the dog out of the yard

5. Dogs like to dig holes, we could get hurt by a hidden hole, no really!

6. I already have enough cat's using my flower beds as their toilets, why add another?

7. I think being a "grandparent" to a dog is way better...

you can love them and then send them home.
8. They stink!!
(We didn't ask for this reason......)
9.. but the best reason of all came to our family 2 years ago.....
and bless her little heart for standing in this line in Heaven....
Em went with me today to drop some things off to a friend, my friend has dogs and cats!
They are super cute and I have enjoyed teasing, I mean playing with them..... I
knew Emmie had allergies to animals but not to the saliva of a dog.
We were there for no more then 5 min and the dog licked her face, she immediately broke out in fever blisters and hives right where the dang dog licked her face... can you see? Her left side! So needless to sat we rushed her home threw her in the bath and gave her a good dose of Benydryl....
Good enough reason for me!
Em has survived the "Ogar" face lift... she is feeling much better, eye still a little swollen, fever blister's gone and mom has forgiven the dog.
Dang that poison spit......

Poor little girl!!! And she wasn't feeling that good anyway. Oh well, no dog for the Griffin house. Good for you.

I think the idea of having a pet is more fun than actually having one. I keep thinking I want one, but then I remember what a pain it is to take care of one. I can't even keep my internet fish alive...I'll have to work my way up the animal food chain...

Personally I wouldnt want something else to take care of but that's just me. Poor Em. She's still cute all swolled up. (is that a word?)
