morning meltdown

okay, so anyone who has seen kam lately has seen her puppy. seriously she has become scarily attached to her stuffed animal/blanket. well, because she's been carrying it around everywhere (totally my fault) it has gotten DISGUSTING! i've said for the past few days we need to give puppy a bath. kam's immediate response, "NO!" so i planned to sneak puppy away or take it at night, but never had a chance to . . .

so this morning i told her we were going to give him a bath. she grabbed the puppy and ran. she backed herself up to the couch and just kept saying "NO!" after several coaxing attempts, i bribed her with a candy corn. she ran with a smile into the laundry room and put him in. she waved to him while he spun around. then ran to get her treat! :) so i'm thinking "ha, who knew it would be this easy?" . . .

yea, well, that didn't last long. she finished her candy corn and wanted to get puppy out. like now! she had a major meltdown (and hello, we were only on the wash cycle - still had to dry him!) poor thing. she just lost it. nothing helped. we went in and watched him spin around and tried to distract her by playing but then she'd hold her hands out and cry sadly "puuuuppppy?" oooh! talk about breaking your heart. seriously between the crocodile tears and her pouty lip, i am a whimp!

so, i gave in. we stopped the cycle in the middle of spinning and dried him super fast. you would have thought it was christmas when she got him back. . . gotta have a new strategy next time! :)

here's how it played out in pictures . . . :(
