Lily's New Puppy

For the last 27 minutes I have been listening to a puppy whine, and this is why......

Alright, you know how much I love the girls I keep during the summer, right? Well Lily wanted a puppy for her bday, so it's happened.  Problem is she's 10, and doesn't want to listen to any advice from me...and her parents haven't really given any guidelines to how to take care of the dog to what I have seen.  And then there's Maddie...she just says, "It's not my puppy...." She helps out and of course loves him, plays with him, takes him out...but again she didn't want the puppy, Lily did. 

Well, Lily my love decided to (and was ALLOWED) to spend the night at a friends house last nite.  There are so many things wrong with this the way I see it.  So, she is currently not here. 

Maddie has a friend spending the night, which I typically have no issue with- all her friends are great.

But this mng I am irritated by it.

There are alot of things that I love about this family, there are some things I don't understand, and there are some things I don't agree with, but it's not my family so whose to argue.  However, this whole situation has me totally shocked. 

Who buys a puppy, when only one child is dying for one? (They have a rabbit here- never played with.) (And another dog at their dad's- the dog is older and doesn't do or require much.) Who then gets the puppy on a Sunday, doesn't tell the nanny, and leaves for work on Monday as if it's no big deal?  So, I arrive to "Mrs. Case I got a puppy!" at 8 am Monday mng. yeaaa.......................
The girls don't have a useful way or the tools to keep/tell the puppy from biting and pawing.  There's no crate insight.  We've got toys, treats, and food.....great. (Found an old crate in the garage, girls cleaned it, and found a towel to lay inside it.)

(Puppy finally stopped whining by the way, after 35 mins.)

The way I see it I have four choices:
1. Ignore the dog and let the girls do as they will with it.
2. Actually begin to crate train and otherwise train the dog then ask for more money for also being an at home dog trainer/therapist. (Which you can see I may have already chosen to do.)
3. Help out some with the dog doing what the girls usually do.
4. Find a new summer job.

I just can't get over that a parent would buy a puppy and then not make sure they were at home for a week or so to get it acclimated to it's new house and routine.  Or just leave a routine to follow, or try to establish a routine during the evenings...that would work too..... Because from what I can tell, there is no routine, and this may kill me.
