The meanest mom ever!

Last Monday I had had enough!!! We love Chili but at the same time not like he should be. I felt bad....because I could not let him off his leash or he would pee somewhere. He once was greatly potty trained. I was cleaning it up sometimes 4 to 5 times a day. That is so not my cup of tea! He needed more attention then we could give. Sadly....I have warned the kids for the last few months about giving him away....and that is just what I did! I had a crazy moment and snapped! They cried that night but where fine the next morning.....hummmm!! He was super cute and full of energy. He was a great addition while it lasted but I was bound to loose it one day. So, I have got my house completely back! No more peeing!! No more crewing!!! Yay! This was big for me to do and felt horrible but at the same time I knew I was doing the right thing. We love you Chili dog! This was taken the night he left.
Am I the worst mother ever??

You are not a mean mom. You do what you have to do so that you can be a nicer mom. And cleaning up after a dog will make you nicer, I promise. Peeing on the floor is absoultely unacceptable - that is what did it for me also. I am so sorry to hear though, it was hard for us to give our Lily away (ella still prays for her). It will all be over soon and Chili will be just a nice memory. It still sucks though. Sorry.

Don't feel bad over that! Mom's can't do everything even though we fool ourselves into thinking we can... Time will pass and you will feel better -- SORRY

That is exactly why we have a NO PET rule at our house! I have enough people to clean up after and give attention too, I don't need an animal too.
Good for you for recognizing the need for the dog to have more attention.
