I'm torn.......

So last week we had a long, fun, exciting, and tiring week. It all started Tuesday afternoon when I got a text message from Brent asking if I would like to go for a drive in the evening. I texted back asking where and why? And he wrote back.....to look at "Cookie puppies" for any of you who don't know I grew up with a dog that was named Cookie a boston bull terrier. We loved her!!! She was so fun and gave our family tons of great memories despite all the hassell a dog brings. Totally worth all the fun memories! So we went and saw these adorable puppies and we were humming and hawing wondering if we really wanted a puppy and Brent finally made the decision to take our little puppy home! We were all so excited and couldn't wait to get home. We stopped by Petco and got a kennel, food, shampoo, brush, toys, and even a book.
We got home and weren't quite ready to hear our new little bundle cry and whimper. She just wanted to be held and cuddled, which unfortunately Brooklyn did too. So after not getting any sleep for a few nights the little puppy is back with it's mommy and daddy. We had a ton of fun for the days we had her but we weren't quite ready to have the whole house awake at 1 in the morning and be playing for a few hours. Carter just couldn't settle down to sleep and then when he did wake he'd hear the puppy and want to play with her and lucky for him we would need to take her out to go potty and of course Carter wouldn't stay in bed so he really thought it was play time. One morning we woke up to Carter trying to name the cute little puppy. He said you like "pop-tart?" "Ok come mer pop-tart" then a few minutes later asked "you like Carter James?" "Ok come mer Carter James" that whole day he was coming up with names all over the place. We laughed so hard!!!!
I do have to say though that during the puppy's stay we only had one small accident and that was on the kitchen floor close to the door. So I think that was extremely good for starting the potty training. Too bad I couldn't be that good and get Carter to learn that quickly.
So anyway, we all decided as a family that pop-tart, suzie Q, Carter James, Jack, Sally.....(the list goes on) would be better off in another home. Thankfully the owner was so understanding and let us take her back. We all decided (Brent included) that we would get a dog when we have a bigger house and when Carter is a little older and can actually help. So for all of you who aren't the dog lovers you better come visit now because once we move it's guaranteed that we will one day have a puppy that belongs to our family!
