My new arrival

I am currently in preparation for a new arrival to the family. All of you who have gasped and started gossiping before you have read the next sentence stop! I'm NOT pregnant...thank god...No it's much better then that. Because I don't have to be pregnant. Someone else has done the hard work for me and now she's kicking him out of home so it's up to me to raise her offspring. I'm getting a PUPPY! As a person who has never had a dog before, I thought it would be great for the children. (This is my spin to my husband) Missy Moo is nervous around dogs, so this will help her get over her fear... I hope, that or I will severely traumatise the poor girl resulting in endless hours of therapy.

I know that the children are much to little to look after the dog and that all responsibilty will fall on me (my husband) to make sure it's fed watered and walked. But, I already live in chaos, there is generally pee or poo somewhere on my carpet and what's the point in having a huge yard if nobody is going to run around it. So a puppy will fit in great with the chaos. We have chosen a Golden Retriever. How much more cuter could you get!!! A male dog, or in technical terms a dog, as I read they are much more cuddly then the females that and hubby saw the puppy daddy and he has a big head and wanted a male. So in all my preparation, I have been reading about dogs collecting things for the dog and making sure my house is puppy proof. I think I am doing more preparation for the dog then I did when having my babies.

And in all my knowledge from reading about dogs, I now tell my other friends with dogs, what I know, as if it's as easy as doing what the book says. 'Oh your dog won't walk on the lead? Maybe you should try the walking in the other direction tactic" and so on. Sometimes it's fun being ignorant.
