Why They Call it Puppy Love
Okay. I admit it. Sometime I prefer the company of my canine kids to the ones who share my DNA and last name. Why? Well, for starters, my dogs are often nicer to me than my human children are.
In fact, I have found that my dogs generally do not:
Ask me for money.
Say they need a homemade ethnic dish for school Diversity Day by 7 a.m. the next morning.
Complain about chicken again for dinner.
Roll their eyes.
Casually mention that they left their homework in their locker on a Sunday night at 10:00 p.m.
Tell me that I look ridiculous/fat/stupid in that outfit (or “borrow” it indefinitely in case I actually don’t).
Accuse me of “doing something” to their missing keys or wallets or cell phones.
Beg to borrow my car/brand new heels/credit card.
Tell me, with straight faces, that their iPods can’t be fixed because they are, after all, disposable items.
See what I mean?
PS: Any other canine-crazy parents out there?

I know exactly what you mean. God bless my dogs!!!
Kids calling parents fat and stupid AND THEN expecting money and credit cards?
My dog is my baby! My 9-year-old has a cat that is my baby also :) He is a VERY naughtly kitty though :(
My husband often says "you love the pets more than me or the kids", to which I respond "and your point is...????"
