it really was the perfect pet for 4 days. no barking. sweet. mild. loved kids. went for walks.
let us bathe her. let us cut her hair. let us hold her. i actually, for maybe two or three seconds thought maybe we could handle a dog.
but then, thursday night, lana asked if she could sleep with her in her room. we said yes. i was giving her away the next day. it would be fun for lana.
about 11:00pm, chris and i went up to bed. i saw the light from under lana's door. so, being the great mom that i am, i quietly opened her door to turn out the lights, and that's when the dog went CRAZY!!!!
SHE STARTED SNARLING AND BARKING AND JUMPED OFF LANA'S BED AND CHARGED AT ME. chris was behind me and got all alpha dog and was saying in a very stern voice, "stop it. you be quiet." the dog didn't listen to him. she just charged at my ankle. i sort of bent over to see if she would calm down and didn't. chased us out of the room.
so, because we are great parents, we left the dog with lana, shut her door, and went to bed. i did say a prayer that the dog wouldn't attack lana's face during the night.
morning came. lana got up when chris knocked on her door to wake her for school. he opened the door and the dog charged again. lana got up quickly and raced after the dog, stepping on the treat the dog left for her right in front of her door. the dog ran from the room, barking and snarling and chasing the poor cat.
the dog was taken to the garage, where she waited for the crazy lady, twinkie b, to come take her and sell her to a puppy mill.
the 4 days we housed the dog, those days were bliss.
the 5th day reminded me why i don't ever want a dog. never. ever.
but she was super cute.
