i forgot about leila




i was so worried and concerned and feeling major guilt about leaving sophia and going back to work...i made all these arrangements with my mom, we got together to talk about her schedule as far as eating, being awake, and sleeping
i got a diaper bag all ready for mom; got extra tylenol and diaper rash cream for her; wrote out the amounts of medicine she gets, etc, etc
in all my preparations to get things arranged for sophia, i forgot about my other child~leila
the night before i went back to work, i realized that leila would be alone indoors for about 6-7 hours
john and i agreed that she should be ok and i would give her a treat or something bigger before i left before i went to work
so i did that the last two days
yesterday, she was fine-no mess, just excited to see us
today, well that's a different story
the pictures should tell the story...the first picture is what the left one still looks like
the second is what john found on our bed when he got home
all i have to say is, i loved these boots despite the fact that they were a little old and worn
they were the perfect pair to wear when you needed to just go or throw on with an outfit...hand me down boots from my sister and i loved them
i know that people say that dogs have a 30 second memory span or whatever, but i swear when i yelled at her she knew EXACTLY why i was yelling
guess i shouldn't have trusted her, even after 2 years of no accidents :(

  1. such cute boots:(
    i've lost some socks and shoes to my in-laws' dog too, so I feel the pain! Hope Leila's learned her lesson:)

  2. I totally do not believe that "30 second memory span" thing. Our dog keeps his head down in shame for hours after he does things like that, and I definitely believe he knows why he is in trouble!
    Poor puppies-- they do get relegated to the back burner after the babies are born.... *but* it's so amazingly sweet and funny to watch them playing with the children once they get older. I'm not sure Shock would say it's an even trade for him (loss of privileges as honorary canine child in exchange for ear-pulling and lots of cheerios on the floor), but it *does* get better for them :)
