So I've decided I can't have dogs or kids and be a single parent. I've been in charge of sitting my aunt's dogs for over a month now and I still have a hard time getting myself to do basic things. There are two things I can't do (or have a hard time doing) while alone with the dogs:
1. showering (there is always some type of poop or pee in the house afterward)
2. leave the house (again, there is an accident somewhere and if the baby gate to the downstairs has fallen, it's probably on my bath mat)
I become so anxious just when I think about doing these things. For instance, I haven't had a shower in a reasonable amount of time and feel absolutely gross and disgusting right now but I came down the stairs to poop at the bottom of the stairs and am now deterred from showering. The bath mat in my bathroom downstairs already has pee on it but I refused to pick it up because I knew I had to go to the grocery store and take Duffie to the vet which meant Panda would probably have an "accident" down there again. Sure enough, when I returned from the vet the gate was down. I haven't checked the damage yet.
Adding to that, at some point during the night (I'm only guessing), someone is peeing in front of the linen closet. That one I'm unsure who's responsible yet. A couple nights ago went upstairs to bed and found poop in the upstairs bathroom, as well as pee, pee in front of the linen closet, and poop in the spare bedroom. The spare bedroom is Duffie's former spot so now even the most trained dog is acting up.
Can you imagine if I had a kid? I mean, sure, I wouldn't leave the child alone but what about a shower? I'd be too afraid something might happen. I suppose I could change to shower before bed while the child is asleep.. but seriously, I don't know if I could handle the stress on my own.
Basically what I'm saying is, I think I'm going to be the crazy cat lady because they are so low maintenance.
