but about this support group. its not for frazzled mothers. its for puppy owners. dan really wants to get rid of our dog. he regretted it about a week after we got the dog when we had to take him to st. g. with us. now, every little thing the dog does, "we've got to get rid of that dog." he's a really goodlooking dog and i know he'll be a well behaved dog, eventually. we just don't have time to work with him. my kids do not pick up after themselves so the dog is always finding something to chew on. i can't take him for walks because i can't control him and the stroller. he needs more attention. he sheds like crazy. i bathed him then brushed him for a half hour and the fur never stopped coming. i had the blowdryer out to blow away the hair. the yard was covered. i had to stop because my back hurt. i thought i would just vacuum more but the main living area in our house has wood floors. there are always hair balls floating around. i guess we thought that since he was housebroken that he would be more trained. he can sit and shake and he won't put something in his mouth if you tell him no. but i can't watch him constantly. i don't want to be a quitter. i don't want to have failed with a 4th (or is it 5th?) dog. i'm too prideful. but dan is done. so, do any of you want to take him--just until he's out of the puppy phase? we'd really appreciate it.
good for pulling a sled. bad for taking on walks.
back to the pregnancy thing. here are the most faq:
- due date: aug. 13th but i've gone a week late 2/2 times.
- will we find out the gender? i don't know. i'm afraid of how i'll feel for the remaining 5 months of my pregnancy if i know its going to be another girl.
- how far apart are your kids? chloe and stella are 2 yrs, 7 mos. stella and #3 will be 2 yrs, 3 mos.
- how do i feel? gassy, bloated, tired, sometimes nauseous. but each pregnancy has gotten easier. that's when people reply, "maybe its a boy" but i'm not getting my hopes up.
