Shia Can Make Us Argue.

Whenever Shia is in trouble it leads to Jared and I getting into a "discussion", which in my eyes really means argument. Shia sometimes is a very naughty dog. We have this baby gate we put up, when we don't want her in the basement. Last night Jared was switching out the laundry, put the baby gate up while I was in our room... taking photos of my clothes... yes still working to make that app perfect. Anyway, Jared had put up the baby gate, which made Shia mad. Shia chewed up our floor boards around the baby gate. I didn't hear her chewing, or obviously I would have done something. Jared comes upstairs and Shia takes off running into our room, she runs in her kennel as fast as she can. Jared pulled her out, and brought her over to the floor board to show her it was definitely not okay. He then put her in her kennel... outside. I knew that if I said that I didn't agree with that, we'd get into a dramatic argument. I get really emotional when it comes to Shia, and Jared is very.. well, I guess he's more analytical. Like the dog did this - she needs to be punished. 
Jared put her outside, and I kept my mouth shut for about 15 minutes, and we were both sitting in silence. Finally I said after she's been out there for another 20 minutes I am bringing her inside. Jared was upset, because he thought she needed to realize that chewing up our floorboards was unacceptable, in my head I thought she knew because we never put her outside in the kennel. So obviously the disconnect is there. We ended up compromising, after a tearful fight... the tears were only coming from me. We brought Shia inside, and she stayed in her kennel. I fell asleep (crying and fighting makes me really sleepy), and I woke up to Jared letting Shia get up in the bed to sleep with us. Shia took her normal sleeping position curled up to my back and in between Jared and I. We all slept. I curled up with Jared this morning feeling guilty that we had an argument, and we weren't able to solve it right then. We talked and cuddled a bit before I left for work. When he got too work he text me, and I text him back. All is well.
I don't know if we have such an emotional fight, and such different views over Shia chewing on our floor molding, how we'd ever be able to parent together? Shia is the only reason Jared and I ever argue. I think it's because we always have been able to compromise, when dealing with just us. We both can be selfish or selfless, and that's that. But when it comes to a 3rd life form that cannot speak or talk for herself, we are a wreck.
