I do not know how so many people have kids and no dogs. It's been almost 2 weeks and I've never vacuumed my floors so much. And if you know me, I'm a floor Nazi. It's a bit of an obsession. I thought, "Now I won't have to mop as often, because there won't be paw prints from Mela going in and out. Also no drool spots (less common)." Instead there are crumbs. Crumbs that stick to your feet at every opportunity. That makes me more crazy than paw prints and dog hair ever did. I never would have thought that my floors would be cleaner with a dog.
Also, Dylan spilled/smashed a cracker on the carpet in the basement and I told him he needed to pick it up. He looked around and asked, "Where's our dog? Where's Mela?"
I reminded him, "Mela died. Remember? She went to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus."
"Well, when are Heavenly Father and Jesus going to bring her back to our house?"
Me trying not to laugh, "They're not bringing her back she died and is living with them forever."
"Let's go to the dog store and get a new dog. A black dog."
I love that kid. Even yesterday he asked if dad had brought home a black dog yet. I think there's going to be a new dog sooner instead of later.

Awe... I never thought of the crumb part. That would really make me miss my dog, too!
We recently had to find a new home for our dog and that is the first thing I noticed too! Who knew my sweet little dog was helping me out so much (and eating so much). I definately miss him.
Dog slobber isn't my idea of a clean floor.
