list no. 10 :: enough whinging

  1. I've felt like I've been on lock down with a new puppy.
  2. I've complained more than I should.
  3. But I wasn't the one who wanted a dog.
  4. I mean I wanted one, but I was also good not having a dog because I know what sort of responsibility comes with a canine friend.
  5. Of course I love him. 
  6. I want to squeeze him really hard he's so cute, but he's not a stuffed animal.
  7. Even if he looks like one. 
  8. I can't imagine life without him here, but 90% of the responsibility lays on my shoulders. 
  9. I knew it would be like this, but then you never really know. 
  10. Suddenly I'm lamenting the time I had before he was here and I see now how unappreciative I was.
  11. I'm done complaining because I know this time of house breaking Howard is temporary.
  12. I'm also done using the time Howard is in his crate to get errands and chores done. 
  13. I haven't gone to the gym in far too long and it's pissing me off.
  14. Howard crate time = Kristen goes to the gym, or works out. 
  15. It will be great once Howard has had all of his shots and I can walk him properly.
  16. He has a lot of energy and I know I'll get a lot of exercise with him, good for both of us.

  1. Honey. You're adjusting to having a new baby in the house after 12 years. Of course you feel this way.
    It takes a lot of energy & time & patience to do what you're doing.
    You'll find your groove soon. (we'll be new dog mamas together by Saturday...)

  2. I've been thinking about you wondering how it was going. I totally understand as I am sure you know. Hang in there!
