OY! Yikes! So, please don't be led astray by the blissful pictures of my kids and our new puppy below. Let's just say everything went downhill...I was constantly having to watch Caleb with the puppy (to make sure he didn't pull out a leg or squeeze her guts out), cleaning up poop and pee, and standing for long periods of time in our backyard waiting for her to eliminate. Caleb woke up Monday morning crying and saying "I don't like the doggie..." Lucy would get so riled up and jump up and lick Caleb that he felt totally overwhelmed. Each day our house became more stressful...I decided our kids are too little for a puppy. All of my wishful thinking of a darling puppy happily playing with my children...shattered. I have never been so grateful for KSL in all my life. We had her sold in 5 hours. And, I don't feel at all guilty like I abandoned Lucy - we found a very nice family with much older children. My prayer was answered. Lucy (who knows what her name is now) should be much happier with these older children, and no stressed out mother blowing steam out of her ears.
Just thought I should post how this all ended lest anyone is deceived into buying a puppy for their little children. Today is a happy day because the puppy is gone. And the kids don't even miss her.

Ahhh, reminds me of the time last year we did the exact same thing. We can talk later.
Oh darn...that's too bad. But it sounds like everything turned out for the best. Thanks for the long hair comment (yay! finally), and no I haven't had to weed (hallelujah). I do have a gardening question for you though, so help remind me next time I see you.
hahaha
Sarah you're hilarious. I wish I could have sold our puppy in the beginning stages as well. Lucky you.
