Cooper

So yes I have 5 children, 2 cats, and now recently a dog and 2 goldfish. Since hubby is gone all the time I got the bright idea to get a large dog so I would feel safe. Needless to say I am not sure if I feel safe or exhausted from picking up. Now keep in mind I work full time in the legal field so I am pretty exhausted.

We got Cooper, half golden retriver half alaskan malumute and 1.5 years old, 6 days ago. I have since forgot about laundry as it is pointless, swept my kitchen about 3 times a day, cleaned up pee (from dog and the confused one potty traning), thrown out numerous destroyed stuffed animals, and gotten plenty of exercise from the dog walking I wasn't even supposed to do.

Cooper is very large and does not seem to understand this yet. He likes to chase the confused one around when she poos in her pull up, and isn't sure what no means yet. He tends to be scared of the cats and wants to sleep in your lap (he is about 85 pounds).

So yes, I have officially lost my mind. I had a pinky swear from 4 children that they would help and all them seem to do is help dirty the house more. I am not sure what they thought I meant when I said "will you pinky swear you will help with the dog?" They possibly heard " mom will do everything like always" But I figure oh well I got 5 kids so what's a dog? We will see.
