Oh Where, Oh Where has the Little Dog Gone?

Ruby, Ruby... So I tried really oh how I tried. As you may know from reading older posts, we were the parents of the year on Christmas Day. We loved this dog so much, all of us did. What we just couldn't take for one more gosh darn second, was one more time of peeing and pooping in the house. We took her to dog obedience school for one month, yep one month. We (well mostly they) missed that little puppy soooo much, and we couldn't wait to see "the trick" of always "gettin busy" outside. That little puppy could shake hands, say hello, give you five, play dead, speak, and stay, and she could do them well.... She just couldn't get the "one" trick. I kept her attached to me for two solid weeks after she got home, I didn't let her out of my sight for a second, well only the second she would run downstairs and poop in the playroom, her particular favorite spot. She is a sweetie and we loved her personality. We miss her (well they do) I found a "perfect" home for her. I advertised her on a website and got several calls from hopeful new parents right away. We have talked to her new owners several times, and they absolutely love her, and have a way better set up for her. They aren't lucky enough to have kids at home, and they have a place for a doggy door, and a fenced in backyard. Heaven for Ruby and I am having my carpets cleaned today!!!

I am confused too...where is the dog? Are the kids so sad? This post just strengthens my position on no dogs in our house. My kids are sad but I don't think I could take it.
