Dirty Dog

Okay so we have a dog. Sophie. Ummm , yeah but I'm not a dog person so liking her is not really in my capabilities. We got her because I was temporarily enamoured ( or temporarily insane) by weenie dogs and for a few months was obsessed with getting one. I did not really want one.....I only wanted to act like I really wanted one because I knew there was no way we could get one. I just wanted Gary to give in. I know, I know...that is wrong on so many levels. So my sweet husband takes me to this weenie dog farm and he says it's just to look at them, we're not going to buy one he claims..... so we go. Awww.....they are so cute. They have all colors and types and we're just checking them out. Then he's like, Well.....pick one out. Umm.....What? He says...... let's get one....... by this time Hannah is all excited because she is playing with all the puppies and I must admit they are so cute when they are puppies but I immediately say NO! I'm not ready for a dog, I don't want the mess. They smell, they shed, they lick and lick and lick. So we left with a dog! Welcome home Sophie. Let me say that the first 2 weeks we got her I was just a mess. Dogs are A LOT of work. I immediately developed a love /hate relationship with her. Loved her because she's cute. Hated her because she was work. Thank God I was not like that with my kiddos. Whew. Anyhow I don't hate her really, it's not like I kick her when no ones looking or poison her food to slowly kill her (hmmmm) . I'm not THAT mean. But today just reinforced all the more why I just don't want her anymore. I'm upstairs getting some clothes to wash and I leave the girls downstairs and they are playing with her. I come down and Hannah is laying on the floor and sophie is straddling her and how shall I say, taking advantage of her leg!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I need that many exclamation points. Eww.......Hannah, what are you doing( as if it's her) ....I mean what are you letting Sophie do that for? She says, ever so innocently.

Hannah: Mommy, it's funny. Look. Sometimes she can do it really fast!
Me: What????? No, no, no...that's not funny Hannah. Get her off! I mean make her stop!
Hannah: But mommy she likes it, it looks like she is dancing or something. Why does she do that?
Me: I don't know honey, but please don't let her do that to you.
Hannah: I don't mind...... she's making us laugh .

Oh my goodness! She has done this in the past and I could never understand why. She's fixed and she's female. I thought only boy dogs did that? And she's only ever done this with Hannah. I told Hannah that dogs only do that to other dogs so maybe Sophie thinks she's a dog. Yep! I think it's time to get rid of Sophie. I can't have that dirty dog violating my innocent child! Is this normal?
