Drama in the Dodd House!

Well who would of thought that a DS game would put a 6 year old in tears, and I'm not talking just a little bit of tears, but the full blown, can't catch her breathe, hysterically crying! Allyson has been playing her new game Nintendog, which is where she has virtual dogs, its a pretty cool game, that she has to take care of the dogs. Well the first dog that she bought when she got the games was named Daisy, and she wanted to check Daisy into the dogie hotel, so that she can get some pampering, you know, because all dogs need to be pampered, and she went to the hotel to get her dog, and it kept telling her that they didn't have her dog. So she comes in the room telling me that the hotel is keeping her dog, and will not give it back! I played with it for a while and still no luck, and no Daisy. So now I tell her that I don't know where the dog is that she must of lost it, well I thought she was OK with that, she went back into the living room where about 5 mins later I hear her crying, she comes back in the room and is in full blown tears over losing her dog! Now Steve gets involved to see where Daisy might be. He goes to the hotel and it tells him the same thing, then he looks at the screen and it has 4 choices: Drop off dog, Swap dog, Pick up dog, and Donate dog, he asked Allyson what button she hit and she this one dad, DONATE dog, that's right she went and gave her dog away without even knowing it! So that lead to about another 15 mins of crying that she lost her dog forever! The way she cried you would have thought that she lost the real thing!
I felt bad for her, but at the same time I have to laugh about it because after all it is still just a game! Oh and after she went to bed Steve stayed up on it trying to her more money so that she can go and buy another dog. He's such a sweet daddy!

Awwww...poor thing! The kids have that game. Played with it a couple times and now it sits and collects dust. That was very sweet of daddy to get her some more $$ to buy another dog.
