Animal Update

Well I decided the cats are going to get a new home, weather I find one for them or I take them to CLAWS an no kill cats shelter in Fruita. Chris was a butt hole about the cats going even tho he insists he was trying to be funny. Here is what he did. He said he was ok with the cats going, he really didn't care. Then he looked at Teagan and said "Teagan how sad are you going to be when mommy get rid of your kitties?" and "How sad will your sisters be when mommy gets rid of your kitties?" That was a shitty thing to do, but he swears he was joking, and Chris doesn't always think about what he is saying. I don't want to get rid of any animals but me and my family come first. I am loosing sleep having an allergie attack every night. Now that I have three kids my tolerance level has gone way down. I am over being tired because I have pets I am allergic to. I cannot even pet them.
Chris and I decided the dogs must go to. I found fresh pee spots in the house two out of the last three nights. Remember theis are big dogs so when they pee in the house it is a HUGE spot. That smell never comes out and once they can smell it they will keep doing it because they are male dogs. They are doing it at night so I cannot punish them in the morning, I don't know which one is doing it.  They are not doing it because they aren't getting let out in time. Both spots are almost dry when I find them around 8am. To me that means they are doing it during the night because they can. I asked Chris if he had any ideas on what to do. I said we could make them stay out at night, but they would bark so we would have to put bark collars on them, plus come winter I don't know how we would keep them warm as they have destroyed any bed we have ever put in the garage for them. We decided to sell the dogs  because we want to make sure that someone really wants them and can afford to feed them. We don't want someone to be like "oh free great Dane cool I want one" Just because they can. We are also selling them because we have put a ton of money into the dogs, our carpets are going to need to be professionally cleaned or replaced, so if we can sell them to help pay for this why wouldn't we?.. It came to my attention this morning that some people are upset by our choice, but it is our choice. It is not easy for us to do, but the dogs are pets. Our family comes first and when they start destroying the house making it unsanitary and disgusting they have to go. THE END, either be supportive in this hard time or don't say anything. If you have concerns call us. Chris and I made this decision TOGETHER i did not tie him up, hold a gun to his head ect....please just be understanding and supportive. We love our animals and this was a very hard decision for both of us.

The Animals MUST GO!!!

Ok Not only do I have three kids under three, but I also have two dogs who weigh more than me and two cats, oh and a Caterpillar named Mr.Pee but his is in a cocoon and maintenance free.
Here is why the dogs must go....
1. They cannot be left alone over night. Even if someone come over and feeds them and lets them in for the night it stresses them out being left alone and they mess in the house. It is way to expensive to board them, and because they are so big it can be hard to take them places with us. When i was in Georgia they messed in the house a lot. I rented a carpet cleaner and cleaned all the carpets, but i swear I can still smell dog pee. Once that smell gets in the carpet pad there inst much you can do.
2. They cannot sleep out side. milo expically cannot sleep out side he will bark all night. If they could sleep out side I would have to worry about them being alone, if they got the shits from being stressed they are out side.
3. They got the taste of people food, now I cant keep them out of it. They get in the trash, and take food off the counter tops when we arent looking. They didnt use to do this, its a new thing.
4. I refuse to be their only care taker, chris needs to help with them. He pick up poop once a week, that's not enough. I cannot remember the last time they had a bath. I don't have time to do all of this. I take care of the kids and i work 10hours a week out side the house.
5. Because they don't get baths enough, and poop doesn't get picked up enough they smell, and our yard dies. I hate the pet hair, it gets every were, and the house smells like dog all the time. I hate it. I like to have a nice house but I feel like I never will because I have pets.
6. They get slobber every were. The walls the T.V. It drives me nuts.

The cats must go because......
1. I am allergic to them, I cannot even sleep in my bed with out having an allergies / asthma attack.
2. Our cat Frodo is an ass hole. He likes to sleep in our bed, he cannot sleep at my head because of my allergies so after pushing him away a million times he settles for the foot of the bed. Sounds ok right?? Except if you move your feet he hisses and bites you. Not only does this hurt but I get welts because I am allergic.
3. Fuzz is a sweet cat but he has long hair which requires maintness. i cannot brush him, well I could if I want to die from an asthma attack. So he and frodo get hair every were and I cannot stand it because I hate pet hair plus I am allergic to it.
4. They bring bugs, birds, mice, ect in the house. Enough said.

I am tired of my pets running my house and life. They don't get the attention they need, i don't pet any of them because of allergies. Chris doesn't give them much attention, heck he doesn't even give them a bath. I am so tired of having animals...I know Chris would kill me if I wanted to get rid of them. I like having a nice clean, nonsmelly house. I get embarrassed of our house now because of the animals. What to do?? Any ideas????
