Dogs and Kids
Right now, Rose has a huge white collar around her neck, and she’s limping around with her foot wrapped up. I’d like to think that this is going to prepare us for children in the future. And I’ve heard plenty of people say that it does. Now that I think about it more, I’d tend to agree with them.
Number 1: Taking care of the ill
You have to tend your dogs as carefully as you would children, the only difference is that you take them to a vet instead of a pediatrician. Granted, the kid costs a lot of money, but you still have to coddle both and comfort them when they’re whining, whimpering or crying.
Number 2: Poop
Let’s face it. Having both children and dogs, requires some amount of interaction with fecal matter. If you’re not picking it up off the floor , you’re wiping it off the walls, off of them and trying to dispose of it in the most pleasant way possible. Which isn’t always possible.
Number 3: Toys everywhere
Number 4: You can’t just do what you want
Want to go on a nice weekend getaway? You need a babysitter.
Number 5: Exercise, discipline and affection
That’s all either of them need, all the time. Right? In that order.
