Ian’s been talking about wanting a dog. Its a good idea and I love dogs, but really.. who’s going to wake up at the crack of dawn to take it outside? And every other time during the day? With both the kids, I can’t just run outside with the dogs every time it has to go to the bathroom. Not unless I scooped up both kids and took them out.

We’d also have to buy dog supplies and food which we really can’t afford right now.
