Last night we sold Mira to a young couple. Why you may ask? Well, having a puppy in the house was exhausting! I've thought long and hard and came up with these 6 reasons why we gave her away.
6) Expensive - all the extra money you have to regularly spend on a puppy was surprising and then to think of her growing and spending even more...wow.
5) Yard - we have a nice size lot but when it's not grassed or fenced in it made it worthless for a puppy...other than she started digging holes.
4) Patience - I thought having kids taught you patience but having to housebreak a puppy opened my eyes to a whole new meaning of the word "housebreak"
3) Time - one might think that in our situation we would have the time but a 24/7 needy puppy leaves you no time for anything else...laundry was piled up.
2) Travel - we travel to Idaho atleast 6-7 times a year and Florida once not to mention the other days we are gone the whole time. We wouldn't know what to do with her as we have no family around that could watch her.
1) Selfish - this is what it really comes down to... Spencer and I decided we liked the way our life was before Mira, free to go places and do things without feeling guilty because there was a sad puppy at home all alone.
Even though we only had Mira for 4 days and those days were crazy we all had fun with her. So thanks Mira for coming to our house and teaching us were are not puppy/dog people and thanks and good luck to her new owners. I know she'll be good for them and that they'll be good for her and we are good now that she's gone. So it all worked out as things in life often do. Who knows maybe we will get another one in the future, or atleast a stuffed animal that looks like a dog.

LOL! I still think it's so funny. 2 dogs later I hope you've learned. :) hehe
Dad says - "I told you so!"
I didn't even know you had a dog! I think Marcia and I are in the same boat as you. We both love dogs, but kids are stressful enough.
