Now I hate to say I told you so to my husband but. . . I can say it everyone else right!!! I am not saddened at all to tell you that Clover the dog is no longer with our family. Now I will back up a bit and tell a little more about the situation. Joe wanted a Dog so Joe got a dog in spite of me suggesting that it was probably not a good idea at this time. I told him that he would have to be up with the dog if she cried in the night and that basically I didn't want to deal with the dog at all. Well I stuck to my guns. Joe got up with the dog every night and aside from feeding the dog (She would only eat for me from a medicine dropper) he did everything for her. After three nights of her crying all night long, Joe decided to just let her sleep in our bed on his chest so she would shut up and let him get some much needed sleep. Suddenly at about three thirty in the morning Joe yells out and jumps three feet off the bed and lands right on top of me, yelling all the while--"the dog is gone!!!" After I got my breath back I asked him what the problem was and he told me that Clover had bit him in the groin!!!! I started laughing so hard, I nearly fell off the bed. Being a nurse (ha ha) I wanted to inspect the damages. Sure enough she had bit him and actually drawn a little blood!!! This just made me laugh even more. I stopped laughing finally and said that I thought it was time to give the dog back to his brother. Joe agreed and the dog was gone by seven that morning. The kids were really sad-especially Jenna, but we explained that Clover just wasn't ready to be away from her mom yet.
Well now Joe's mom and dad have Clover. They fell in love with her and they have more time and patience to deal with her so we are happy that she is close by--JUST NOT AT MY HOUSE!!!!!!!

Sue- I can't stop laughing. That is so dang funny. Sorry Joe!
Poor Joe. But I don't blame you for not helping out with the dog, if you were going to do all of that, you may as well have another baby! I'm sure you miss Clover a bit, but at least he is close and you and the kid can visit.
