This past weekend we house sat Ashley’s parents house with our two dogs, Brooklyn and Bailey. Brooklyn is now 9 months old and Bailey is 3 years old. They are both female Boxers.
So, Saturday we thought we’d get out of the house and go get some food in town. We forgot Brooklyn’s crate at home so we decided to put her in the pool house as we have done this before and it resulted in minimal damages. Bailey was left in the backyard. There are all kinds of things to chew up in the backyard so that’s why we put Brooklyn in the pool house.
We were gone for about an hour. After we got home, Ashley went to let Brooklyn out of the pool house. I was in the backyard playing with Bailey when I hear “BAD GIRL, BAD GIRL BROOKLYN!”. I chuckled a bit and then headed over to the pool house to see what she had done. I walked in and saw little white pieces all over the floor, then I looked up and saw blinds chewed up, bent and missing. Fortunately for me these blinds were cheaper then the last set she chewed at our old house. The last ones were special older blonds that cost me $150!
Here is what 9 months of puppy love has cost me so far…
- Blinds, Ashley’s Parents House: $40
- Screens, Ashley’s Parents House $30
- Blinds, Old House $150
- Sprinklers & Grass, Old House $250
- Two X-Box Controllers $50
- Friends Red Shaggy Carpet $180
- Two DVDs $40
- Snowboard Boots $180
- Friends Couch $600
Total comes out to: $1520
Now I know why my parents said No when I asked for a dog. Didn’t stop me from bringing one home anyway but now that I am having to cover all the costs the reality has really hit! But, I still love them!
