Puppy Clutter

Well, after two years of thinking about it, we finally did it. We expanded the dog side of our family. We have a yellow lab and now we have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppy (Toller, for short). Did this simplify our life or reduce clutter?

Of course it didn't simplify our life or reduce clutter! And, yet...

My kitchen is gated off. The extra crate is in the kitchen. Puppy toys are underfoot. Puppy is underfoot, on top of foot, chewing on foot. And, yet...

Sleep is shortened. Emergency slip-on shoes are piled by the back door for quick trips outside. Spare rugs line the perimeter of the kitchen. And, yet...

Sometimes it isn't always about keeping things simple or safe or uncluttered...
