1. He's sexually abstinent...for life
My dog will never come home with an unplanned pregnancy. Sure he's a boy and that is reason enough but he's also fixed. Teaching my daughter one day about the birds and the bees is a terrifying concept. Perhaps I should not watch Teen Mom so much as this may seem like encouragement.

2. Attitude...no way!
Although my dog doesn't speak it's relatively easy to figure out his needs. Water. Food. Walk. He will never go all angsty teenager on me - declaring a love for anything I don't and slamming doors in my face. He will also never learn the art of the temper tantrum which my daughter is basically owning at this moment in time.

3. Independent
I can leave him home alone. In a car alone (with windows rolled down of course) and just in general...alone. His quietness doesn't mean he's getting into trouble. It means he's most likely taking a nap or licking his balls. In her case quiet usually means she has discovered his water bowl for the millionth time and tipped it all over the floor.

4. He poops outside. Enough said.
5. He will never need braces or glasses. Two things that if my daughter takes after me she will definitely need. Let's hope you got your dad's gene pool on that lady.
6. Food. He eats it. Same stuff everyday without complaint. I don't worry about if he is getting enough veggies or if I have fed him Annie's too much this week. Organic? Forget about it we are talking about a dog that licks his butt.
7. He unconditionally loves me. Sure only my husband walks him. But I let him sleep on my side of the bed (no worries about SIDS over here). His fur holds my secrets and tears and he has saved me a lot of money on therapy. He also knows better doesn't try and get away when I draw him into a hug. I'm looking at you one year old!
All joking aside I like my dog more than most people - but I love my daughter above anything. I mean that's a given right? But the internet can get all sorts of crazy so I felt I needed that little disclaimer.
This is GOLD, haha! Love it all, especially the defiant finger up the nose pic! Glad I'm not the only one struggling with that little issue! ;)
ReplyDeletebahahahahaha you had me after #1. This is absolutely hilarious especially about going outside. SO much easier right?
ReplyDeleteSo funny because when I was pregnant, I watched Teen Mom all the time for reassurance. If those maniacs could keep their kids alive, surely I could do the same! Now it just terrifies me. And don't forget, you can leave your dog home alone for 10 hours a day and no one will come and take him away from you!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
This is hilarious, Nora has discovered her nose also. Even does the same little "ya, what ya gonna do?!" eyebrow raise!
ReplyDeleteLove this so much. Hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! OMG the attitude. We are full on hitting the terrible twos and my daughter seriously tests my patience every day. This post made me laugh! I love my dogs too although I have to say, even though they poop outside their farts rival toxic bombs. One thing my daughter will most definitely never be able to accomplish!

Haha this is awesome! There is just something so easy about dogs, and the unconditional love- they're perfect! I know it must be so neat to watch your furbaby and real baby together!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like this about my cat. She's so patient with Sophie. and it's nice that I don't have to worry about her food options like ever.
ReplyDeleteliz jo @ sundays with sophie
Aw haha love this!! They are so perfect in their own ways - and do things for us that humans just can't. Don't know how to describe it, but I think you know what I mean ;) And that picture at the end just kills me! HAHAHA #lookingfortrouble

ReplyDeleteYou know I love how much you love Finn! Dogs are so special, I can't imagine life without a furry companion in it.
ReplyDeleteHaha this is all so true! I love the disclaimer, ridiculous that you have to put stuff like that at the end of a blog post, eh?
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! And that picture is just too cute. You have some pretty babies <3
ReplyDeleteThis post (and that picture) had me laughing our loud for a long while haha. Esp #3!!
ReplyDeleteHaha this made me laugh! I’m so glad I’m not a dog… eating the same thing day in and day out sounds terrible!
ReplyDeleteThat picture is the best!! I love all of these points and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who will still allow (more specifically, encourage) my dogs to sleep in the bed with us after the baby is born!
