Who tends to your furbabies?

[soneal]

Im a stay at home mommy, so it is pretty much me that does everything around the house, except take out the trash. It is pretty much a never ending job, with no weekends off. You ladies know the routine, get the kids off to school, do the laundrey, straighten the house, do the dishes, pay the bills, make the dr. appointments, take care of the furbabies, get the kids from school, make dinner, do some more laundrey, get kids to their sporting activities and I have to make some time for Yt in the midst of all these chores. Lets see have I left anything out? I usually have a couple things added to each day. My two sons do take the dogs out when they are home, especially my 14 year old, he is great, so thoughtful about the dogs. He sometimes beats me to the chore of letting them outside. He will also feed them if I am gone in the evening. I really enjoy having the 3 dogs to keep me busy during the day here by myself. Plus I told my hubby every time I get a new dog that I wouldn't expect him to clean up after them or anything(although he does take them out and for walks some). That worked he hasn't complained yet when I have told him I wanted another. Although he thinks I keep adding more work to my load, but I don't mind they are my babies. I am just so thankful that I am able to stay at home all day for my two boys, it has been the greatest gift in my life. Now I just have 3 little extra gifts to make my days more special.

My husband doesnt help at all with the furbabies, but i dont mind. The thing that annoys me about him is , that he complains that they never really go near him and that they are always sittin on my lap. Huh i wonder why that is.
lol

Oh forgot to add my two girls (10 an 14) are great with them.

My hubby loves Bengi a lot. Bengi is our furbaby. He feeds him, changes the pee pads, gives him bath, plays with him. He's not a fan of walking him, but that's ok, he'll do it if I ask him to.
When I first got Bengi, he was my dog, and all the responsibility used to fall on me, but not anymore
And of course, Bengi loves him as much as he loves me!

Now he really doesnt do anything.

Begin Rant:

I work 24-27 days a month usually 9-13 hours a day. He works only 5 days a week 5 hours a day....he just started the job.

I pay for all of our bills and take care of everything. He does help clean sometimes but i usually have to ask him.

Same with Buddah. I have to ask hin to do anything but play with him. But I guess that is something.

I just feel like he doesnt think about him. I am so concerned with his well being all the time....does he have food? is he happy? has he had enough play time? does he need brushed? boogies in the eye?

He doesnt think about things like that like i do.

END RANT.

I guess all i can say is he is my baby. I bought him and if we were to break up I would keep him. So I cant expect too much. Besides I kind of like that Buddah likes me more than him

LOL...that is great!

Well, its just me, me, me. No BF, no kids. When he is sick, I take him to the vet, when he needs grooming, I take him or I do it myself....and I feed him....hmmm maybe that's why he's attached...LOL.

I do have help from other family members which I am so grateful for. They are always willng to help when I go out of town or if I need to leave him for a few hours. Two weeks ago, my power went out which means no heat. I had a baby shower that day and, well Izzy couldnt go...so my Aunt was kind enough to watch him at the last minute.

I dont have people in the house to help, but I am thankful for the ones that will outside of the house!

I feel very blessed. My huband is a very helpful Daddy. We have an agreement that because he does work full time, and I am an at home Mom, that if Sophia wakes up to potty in the night, I take her, but he gets up with her in the morning...always. I am in charge when it is light out and he does it when it is dark. It works really well.

Well I am a stay-at-home mommy to my furbaby Bailey (no human kids) my husband does look out for him like he will say "Bailey water is getting low in his bowl" BUT he will not fill it up well I take that back sometimes he do fill it up and then rants at me for not filling it up (but shoot he can do it sometimes too) He did go with us to training class a couple of times so I thought that was soooo sweet of him and if I'm out running errands and he is home he will let Bailey out the playpen and run around but as far as him going to the vet or him going take Bailey to get groommed, no, he hasn't did that but maybe he would if I asked him if I couldn't do it. He told me the cutest thing YESTERDAY well since he had to work and couldn't come with me to his mom's big Super Bowl party I'm opt to go to my mother n laws house without him I left him a note to tent to Bailey when he gets off, so I call him to check on Bailey and he says everything is going good Bailey is running around the house playing.....Then when I get back from the party he tells me that he really felt like he had a HUMAN KID because Bailey got sleepy and went in his room (yes he has a room LOL) and got in his bed....and my husband said every so often he would get up and turn on the light and check on Bailey (Awwwwwwwwwwww ) He said Bailey was EXCELLENT and wasn't any trouble while mommy was away!! (hehehehe).........He really LOVES the little rascal!! I'm never wanting my husband to do too much because he does work hard and even weekends shifts ranging from 8-12 hour shifts including some weekends just so me and Bailey can have a GOOD LIFE!!

My husband is in charge of cleaning up the poop in the dog run and he usually takes them to the vet. He loves on them bunches... and he will feed them on the weekends when he is home. But, the grooming is usually me. However, I am 4 months pregnant with our third child and bathing the dogs is becoming more difficult for me with a belly in the way He will have to take over for the next few months... but he loves our three dogs and he will do it for me. I would say in the husband department I struck gold

He cooks, cleans, washes and irons and takes care of the dogs by even cooking for them like I do, whenever I'm not home. We go out to eat quite a bit and we have a gardner. Life is great!!!

wooohoooo! You got a keeper!!

[trini&coco]

I do most everything for my doggies. Especially, now that my fur-family is growing, my partner won't do anything but play with them sometimes and maybe feed them if their food is low. She loves them though!!!
