Ok, I will talk about it now. This may be therapeutic for me. Sorry to bore you all with the gory details.
-visit dog at dog park
-think dog is "so cute!", "perfect size!", "not too hyper!"
-ask owner if I can take dog for a trial weekend
-follow owner to get food, bowls etc.
-bring dog home
-open door, cats double their size, run faster then I have ever seen in any direction
-dog proceeds to wake the dead with barking and howling
-chases cats in every direction
-finally get dog to calm down, cats are perched high up in different parts of the house, still trying to look larger than life
-relative calm until DH comes home
-he says hello to dog and is so cute and interested
-i leave for school to get DD's....wait for it
-come home, dog has attacked cat
-dog attacks cats sleeping cushions and proceeds to rip them to shreds
-dog snarls at DH who tried to get said cushions away from dog
-girls are hysterical, DD8 runs upstairs to lock herself in her room with Squirt
-DD8 begins screaming "SQUIRTY IS SCARED!!! SQUIRTY IS SCARED!!!" hysterically, which sounds like to mommy who is downstairs with monitor on
"SQUIRTY IS DEAD!!!" SQUIRTY IS DEAD!!"
-I have stomach sink, and feel as though my world has come to an end, and run upstairs
-DH tells me cat is OK, and then proceeds to step in dog pee accident #5
-decision made to maybe forgo weekend trial, and end trial after 4 hours.
-dog given back to owner after making sad eyes at me all the way there
-cry
-return home, stressed DH goes to see sick Nana, I yell at kids.
-great time was had by all.
I swear, I think I just wake up and say to myself "What can I do to upset myself and others today???"
Hope you are all having a lovely night....
