Our poor deprived children. Matt and I are just not pet people. We've tried. We've failed. I just can't stand the hair. I can't stand the smell. I can't stand the poop. I despise the poop! How do people deal with it? Nevertheless, our children never stop trying to convince us that we really really, pretty please with a cherry on top, you'll never have to walk it or clean it or deal with it or see it or smell it, need a pet.
We were at our friend's house the other day. They have pets. I believe they think their pets are their friends. Perhaps even their family. Apparently I have enough friends and family. Brody started in on how we need a dog and how they really aren't any trouble at all. I kept telling him nope, not gonna happen, not in this lifetime, when pigs fly, after I die, etc. In other words, uh uh. Finally, I grew weary of his persistence and said, "Look, if you can find a dog that doesn't poop, you're on big guy!"
Brody gave a fist punch to the air with a loud, "YES!!" Then he then ran off yelling, "Hey Aiden, guess what Mom said!"
I'm mean. But it works for me.

Oh, I can't wait to see what he comes up with!
And that picture is hilarious!
We have a Maltipoo. Half Maltese, half poodle. She doesn't shed but does have to be groomed. I'm a lazy pet owner so we litter box trained her. Purina has dog litter! My children are on a revolving schedule so every third week someone is responsible for 'clean up'. Good luck:)
Hahahahaha, hilarious! Poor Brody! I hate dogs too though, I will never give in unless they find one that doesn't poop, bark, smell, or jump on you! We need to get together! Name the date and time and we'll be there!
Ha ha. You sound just like me. The funny thing is my mom would NEVER let us have a pet growing up. I told her "When I'm a mom, I'll let my kids have a pet!" Now, I'm eating my words. I'm sure, oneday your kids will too! Love it.
Let me know how that goes...if we could get our dog to stop pooping, I MIGHT stop hating him (or at least hate him a little less...) Of course I don't REALLY want him to die, that would be mean (and sad for some of the family), I just wish we could come back from a vacation and forget we ever had a dog! (Please don't call the animal cops on me!)
I tried ... and tried and tried and tried - the whole time the kids were growing up! DON'T GIVE IN! DON'T DO IT! Jennifer (a dog hater) finally gave into little Alex - a true dog lover - and Ellie is a great dog ... but she poops, stinks and it IS NOT worth it! Jennifer is sooooo sorry she gave in ... stay smart!
As for the orange rolls ... any time! I would love to show you how - they are soooooo good! As for the $29 fares - Allegiant Air - every Thurs. and Sunday!
