Potty and puppies

at 01/25/10 3:02PM
Jill and Terra and I were riding around yesterday when Jill asked us when we were going to get a dog.

"Baby, that won't be for a long time." I said.

"Besides," said Terra, "Puppies are a lot of work. You have to teach them to go potty outside because if you don't, they will go potty in the house and that is yucky."

"I will teach the puppy." my daughter replied.

"Really? Even in the middle of the night?"

"Sure."

Then there was this long pause. You could tell she was thinking.

"I guess I will have to go potty outside too then." She said.

"What?" we replied. "Why do you think that?"

"Well, how else can I teach the puppy what to do?"

    Maybe she wants to wait until it warms up, then.

    After the babies come, you might wake Jill up when you all have to get up for feedings and have her take a stuffed animal outside and set a variable timer for when she's allowed to come back in - those silly dogs might pee immediately, but sometimes they just take their time and play!

    That might give her some better perspective!
