Heres the thing. Rusty gave Belle away almost a month ago because I was sick and tired of that two year old dog doing whatever she wanted to. She was trained better than that. But all of a sudden, she would not stay in the yard, and would be gone all day. Come home in the middle of the night and jump on the door. Then she decided to just keep going to the bathroom in the house as she felt like it. And when Cooper pulled on her tail like hes done since he was a baby and she was a puppy, she started to growl and turn her head at him.. She never bit him, but I wasn't going to wait for all that to happen. I told Rusty I could not put up with it anymore. I tried to do everything I could for her in regards to her allergies and other medical expenses, I made sure she had food and plenty of it, and yet she still had the nerve to run off, growl at my son and shit in my house. So he took her and gave her away.
Rusty and I went and bought a new vacuum and steam cleaner to celebrate. We celebrated by getting all the stains that witch left behind out of the carpet and the smell of her out of the house!!! My house is for the first time in a year and a half, so clean, that you could eat off the floors if you wanted to! I couldnt say that before because as much as I cleaned, it was always still a mess! But now, it is clean. It has been clean for 5 days straight. And Ive been keeping up on it to make sure it lasts. My New Years Resolution, I suppose. Since I never made one.
Well, Cooper needs a dog he can actually play with as Thunder tolerates him but doesnt like it. And does not play. Ive never seen a dog that won't touch toys before I got this one. I swear. So today, as you may have guessed from the title, we got a new puppy. Cooper helped pick her out and has been waiting for her to come home with us for two weeks. her name is Lillie and she is adorable and wants to play!
I have been so happy all this week! This is a nice change from the depression I normally feel because the house is trashed and just gets worse the more I try to clean and because Im cooped up all the time and my wonderful boy doesnt usually behave. But Cooper has been on good behavior, the house is clean, and we have a new puppy!
Soon we will have a new couch. Real grown-up furniture. And even though our furnace decided to quit working, Im not even upset about it. Because we dont heat with that anyways. We were going to start after this last electric bill, but oh well. Now we have an excuse to go get that pellet stove to put in the basement. Which Rusty has been talking about for two years!
Life is good.
