Meet Remington

So THIS happened!  I NEVER thought I would agree to this.  The kids have been asking for years and Justin has always wanted a dog.  I opened my mouth and said, "maybe we should THINK about  TALKING ABOUT getting a dog", two days later here he is!  See if I EVER OPEN MY MOUTH AGAIN!  


The first night was HORRIBLE, MISERABLE, TERRIBLE, HORRIFIC, BAD, I could go on and on.  Let me just say that an infant is not this much work!  We decided to crate train him so he will not destroy everything we own and pee and poop everywhere!  So, we had to figure out where we would put his kennel.  Unfortunately it was in our room, we figured he needed to be behind closed doors so he would not wake up the ENTIRE house.

We put him in our room and he was NOT happy going in the kennel.  He started to bark, whine, yelp, and make 14 other noises I have never in my life heard and it only lasted FOUR hours STRAIGHT, he did not even stop to take a breath.  I honestly do not know how he did not wear himself out or go hoarse.  FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT PEOPLE, FOUR HOURS!!!  He fell asleep for an hour or so and then needed to pee, he went out to pee and when we put him back in the kennel he started round two which was only a little over two hours!  Then peed again and then was up for the morning at 5:30.  I thought I was going to die the next day.  We felt like we had been hit by a mack truck over and over.

I could not wait to see what night two was going to bring!  WTH was I thinking of THINKING about it.  




When we got home we took him straight to the bath.  He smelled like a yeti!  He did not really like the bath very much but he better get used to it!
