Give Us The Wiener Dog and No One Gets Hurt

Alternate titles for the post were:
We've Come for the Weenie Dog
Oh Where, Oh Where Can The Wiener Dog Be

Anyway.

We want to borrow my parent's dog, to see if it is feasible that [eventually] we can own/have a dog in the apartment.

The idea was less than well received, because both of my parents are some what enamored with this little dog. And the idea of them being without her for about a week and a half is almost more than they can bear. [We want to borrow her in November, but that is why I am asking now]

So I am going to start calling the answering machine and cell phone voice mail and leaving little messages:

Give us the dog.
