As it turns out, especially when you have no kids of your own, people don't like it when you compare kids and dogs. Especially moms. How dare I compare their smoochie-kins to a dog!
Whatever. Those moms are liars or in denial or have never actually owned a dog.
Well, now I have a kid and I'll be the first to say, yeah, I was right. My kid and dog have a lot in common already! Yes, even my smoochie-kins is like my furry smoochie-kins.
I have a feeling I'll have more to add to this subject in the future, but for now:
Example #1: Routine
Every night around 9:00, Laika goes outside. When she comes in, she sits by the door while David prepares her dinner. She scarfs her dinner and then heads directly to bed-- either in the living room or in the bedroom depending on which people are in which room.
Every night around 7:00, Evan eats his dinner. When he's finished, he gets a bath followed by lotion and some giggle time. He nurses, dozes off and I put him to bed.
Notice the similarities?
Example #2: Tricks
Laika does tricks. When people come over, especially after they comment about how good she is (because she is), we like to show them what else she can do. Her most interesting trick is rolling over.
Have you seen the Evan rolling videos? Need I say more?
One day, when Evan can eat Cheerios, maybe we'll toss him some treats for doing his tricks like we toss Scooby Snacks to Laika.
Oh, goodness! What would the mommies say if they knew I was comparing my kid and my dog?!
