How about another dog?
Danielle has been asking repeatedly for a new dog. "MY own dog" she calls it.
Her rationale goes like this:
Timber is Mommy's dog. Mommy picked Timber out at the store.
Graycie is "no one's dog" because Graycie picked Danielle, not the other way around.
So none of the dog's at our house are "MY dog".
HMMMMM....we have said "No." We have said "Not right now." We have said "NO!!!".
So, tonight when it was brought up again, which it usually is, I was going along with our previous standard answers. "NO!!".
I tried to reason with my child..."You don't feed the dogs we have, you dont walk the dogs we have, you dont sweep up the dog hair that we have, you dont brush the dogs' teeth that we have, you dont PICK UP THE POO from the dogs we have, so I'm sorry, but NO."
She shrugs and walks off.
Momentarily, like a bat out of heck, she comes running back upstairs. "Hey Mom, guess what?" (I already dont like the sound of this.) "DAD said that if I start picking up the poop from Timber and Graycie, that I can have a new dog."
Mommy is still sitting her wondering what happened to "NO."
I will keep you all posted on Miss Poo Patrol.

I'm a little behind the times. Just caught up on your blog.
6 days later...is Danielle still picking up poop?
Love the new "do". It looks really cute on her.
Danielle has not picked up one piece of poo.....
Hmmmm. Sounds like Brian knew what he was talking about. :)
