patience (or lack there of)

This morning my patience were tried and I failed...miserably. I don't know how I'm going to handle motherhood when I can't even keep a clam, level head with two dogs. Our older dog just wants to play with the newere one, but the newer one wants to sleep a lot because he's a puppy and that's what puppies do. It is hard to keep them apart sometimes, but that becomes a necessity because I don't want either one of them to get hurt. It gets frustrating and sometimes we have to discipline one or both of them (like kids, I guess), but I always feel bad because I don't want to hurt them....ugh. This is so stupid and I can't believe I'm even writing a post about all this crap but I have to do something with it....it's been a rough morning. Then, I took both dogs outside one last time before I left for work and in order to make sure I get the door shut well, I say to Daisy (our older dog), "Daisy, wait" and she usually just sits at my feet, on her leash, until we're ready to go. Well, ever since we got Otis (our little one) she hasnt' been listening as well. This morning there was someone outside with two larger dogs and of course Daisy wanted to go after them. Well, she didn't listen to the normal command so I had to press the button on her leash that stopped the leash from going out further and because she was running she stopped abruptly. Then, when she headed to the grass she was limping a bit....I felt bad, but I am not sure how what I did would have caused that? Maybe she just stepped on something? I'll have to keep an eye on it...poor puppy had a rough morning.

Last night we get this stupid notice from our apartment complext that we owe them $600 for having a pet! Now, mind you, we have had Daisy since last August and staff at the complex have seen her since then, pet her and the whole bit! They also gave us a notice one time for not picking up her poop outside and that was a few months ago. So, now, becuase we gave them our 30-day notice, they give us this stupid notice so that we will give them additional money....dumb! Why not have given it to us when you first noticed we had a puppy that we didn't mention to you when we moved in? ! We got her after we moved in, but it's still just frustrating because they waited all this time to bring it up. Josh is going to handle this one and tell them to keep the $400 deposit we gave them and the $1000 we paid them to break the lease....they don't need an additional $600 from us....outregeous!
