When we got Hurley, a lot of people asked why we didn't have a baby instead of getting another dog... well for one, he's a lot cuter than a baby and two I feel as though having dogs is merely a way of training and mentally preparing for the day when Jordan and I have a little one join our family. But until that day, here's what we've learned so far from the dogs to prepare us for kids:
- If the house seems a little too quiet, they have probably just done something bad. As evident from the side picture, taken tonight after Hurley chewed my cell phone charger in half.
- They are devious and sneaky - you have to be more devious and sneaky!
- If you want them to do something for you, a treat will always get it done.
- Road trips must have potty stops planned along the way, as well as knowledge of where a potty stop may be if needed.
- My Dad always says "Patience is a virtue". It is soooo true.
So for now, Jordan and I love our little doggie family but we are looking forward to the day when we can graduate from puppies to babies.
So So true, but I must disagree on one point, Henry is cuter than Hurley! :)
ReplyDeletemaybe we should have gotten dogs before starting on this baby adventure!
