We traded Bella...

For Daisy...

<


My wonderful husband brought home a puppy (Bella) 2 weeks before Christmas. She is a miniature daschund. We have loved Bella and gave it our all, but in the end, we have learned that A: Daschunds are impossible to potty train; and B: we are not inside dog type of people. I feel terrible but I cannot do the poop and pee in my house anymore. Between Carson and Bella, I was cleaning up poop all day long. I started thinking and when we have another baby, I do not want to worry if the dog is around it or if the carpet is to dirty to let the baby crawl around. I like to think of myself as someone who doesn't give up, but I just couldn't to it anymore. Anyway, high fives all around to all you who have inside dogs; not for me! So...we couldn't get rid of a puppy without replacing it. My brothers dog had puppies and my kids have been loving on them since they were 1 week old. My awesome mom and dad said they would take Bella(my mom has the patience for her) and we could have one of Chris' puppies. Daisy is a coon hound mix. Best of all, she will be an outside dog, to play with in the backyard and take camping. She will be so good for our 9 year old chocolate lab, Nellie. It was a hard decision but in the end it will be better.
