Dog Sitting! Fun or Nightmare?

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
We were helping one of our youth group students by dog sitting her puppy.  I thought since her puppy is from the same litter of puppies as our puppy it would be fun. 


They dropped him of and immediately the dogs were having fun and playing.  My husband ended up taking each dog separately for a run before we put them to bed for the night.  


The next day things were going great the dogs were playing and being good.  I braved a walk with the dogs, stroller, and 4 year old.  WE made it!  :) :)  


Later in the afternoon the dog we were sitting decided to gobble his food really fast and then sneak and get as much food from our puppy as he could.  next thing we know he had thrown up a lot and cleaned most of it back up eating his gross puke!  :(  BARF!  


The hubby was really great helping clean the mess up.  We put the dogs in their beds while we were out and about and came back and the dog had thrown up again...and in his kennel!  The whole basement stunk!  :*(  It was gross, and again I am so thankful of my hubby since he took care of bathing the dog and cleaning the kennel!  :)  Praise God for awesome hubbies.  


Then after the dog was all cleaned up in horror he started peeing all over the house... :(  WHAT IS THE DEAL??  I think after my puppy constantly wanting to play and nip on him and then a bath he had enough and was trying to mark territory.  


So I did not want to complain too much so I never told the girl...only her mom.  I did not want her feeling really bad so I hope she is not reading this in horror.  LOL  If she is I hope she knows I love her and her dog still.  It was just a rough couple hours.


Do you have any dog or puppy horror stories?

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.   We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.
