and this is how Siena feels about it...
just kidding. It was fun but we realized we are NOT ready for a dog. Atleast not this dog. This is Cooper and we watched him for a friend from Saturday till Monday night. It was a little chaotic. Claire was terrified of little Cooper. I can see how, they are the exact same size. Claire would not be put down for the whole 3 days. Cooper would stay under the table and wait for Claire to drop her food, or just jump up on the chair and take it from her. Ben ran around in circles around poor Cooper. He was just so hyper. Poor Cooper didn't like the kids I think and followed Dave and I around all weekend. The kids wanted to play with him but he only wanted to play with us. The first night he ended up in our bedroom in his bed and then the second night he wined and wined but stayed down in the family room. Dave kept reminding me that we were not getting a dog... EVER. Going outside late at night for potty runs and worrying that he was going to run under our fence and run away was not fun. The hair that he shed all over our main floor was not fun. I did clean our floors really well the day after he left. But we are happy to be a dog free house now. Lesson learned I don't think there is any way of convincing Dave of ever getting a dog.

Wow! You totally had me for a second. :) Catherine likes looking at dogs when we're on walks, but I don't think she'd like it if they were at home with us all the time.
Ugh! All the reasons you just listed are why I do not want a dog! Unfortunately, Dan loves dogs and cannot wait to get one. I should have Dave talk to him to set him straight.
