How many times have I heard this since I had the 2boys! You know the song,''I promise Ill take care of it?!'' Really?!! OK, So the dog is 15, the kids are 22 and 19 and its almost 2am......what does that have to do with anything?? Well let me tell you.......
Im sitting in the living room settling down to write my ''NICE'' blog when I get a text. YES, a text. Its from my son IN THE ROOM NEXT TO ME asking me would I do something about the dog?! Why you ask?! Because, I put him in the boys bath and told them the dog would not come out until he was bathed! I assume you can tell who won that ''waiting'' game lol So, being the good mom that I am (not really ,but figured the scene would be too bad for 1am) I go ahead and bathe this poor dog!
Now, as I said hes 15, his name is Harley,hes a Yorkie,hes missing teeth,he has contracted a Yorkie skin condition,he gets a shot once a mth,he some how has a s~~t load of fleas(HOW he only goes out to potty??) and he smells like a dirty biker. I can say this as my husband owns a Harley...he doesnt stink, but you get the drift!
One hour and 32 minutes later Im crawling out of the bath room , because I cant stand up straight from leaning over the tub. What the hell happened to this dog?! He was a mess....now I know it hasnt been that long since he was bathed, because I lost that waiting game then also!
I neglected to tell you hes blind in one eye and almost death, so a bath is actually tramatizing for him AND me. The boys just ''loved'' this dog when he was a PUPPY!! His papers say he is a ''Miniture Yorkie''. I saw his parents.....they were little. He is about 15lbs bigger than he should be. The Vet says hes full blooded, but apparently is some kind of Mutent Yorkie that grabbed Genes from generations back, therefore he was not his adorable 4-6lbs.
How ever he is one of the prettiest Dogs Ive ever seen. Hes a Yorkie with a Silkies hair and as I said about 20lbs. So, due to his size the adorableness ran out pretty quick when he started to grow and the boys then wanted another dog! I SAID NOOOOOO!
So, we got a Labador!! Surley they would take care of this dog AND the 2 adorable cats that they brought home! I told you their ages , so when they went to college I inherited the animals! Both are living back at home and still in college, but I have come to realize when they are clean and fed they lovingly refer to them as ''THEIRS''!!
What did one of them have the nerve to say to me this weekend........''Hey mom I want to get a dog??!!'' SERIOUSLY I THOUGHT ''When I move out Ill take it with me'', SERIOUSLY AGAIN!!! Im not falling for that!!
Now this time I am sticking to my guns! One day when they move out for good Im bringing a few animals to their homes that I just HAVE to have and I will tell them ''When I come to visit Ill take care of them....I PROMISE''!

You go girl! I wanna see their faces when you show up at their homes with the pets! I've aquired all of my animals the same way (I am an animal lover, but never got to pick out my own), and guess who has to take care of them? Yep, you guessed it, me!! If I ask someone else in the fam to feed, water, or let them out, I receive a bunch of eye rolling and moaning. Really! Their cuteness seems to wear off after about two weeks of caretaking around here!
