Dear Dog Moms

Dear Dog Moms,

Someone recently asked if I was offended when they compared having a dog to having a baby.

Not that long ago I was a dog mom. 

And while being a human mom is exponentially more difficult (I don't recall a c-section when my dogs came into my life), here's why I'm not insulted:

Nighttime Schedules

Our two dogs ("the girls") have long gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. This is usually followed by gulping food.. only to want to go to the bathroom again in a few hours. If I could doggie-door Jase and trust he could self-feed without CPS getting called you know I would...

Attitude

Jase can escalate the situation in seconds.

Tell me... What does your dog do when the doorbell rings?

Dress Up

Guilty. As. Charged.

The Poo Factor

Ok this is where I'm a terrible dog mom. I've trained my dogs to go where "there are no witnesses". 

Yes... judge me. 

But if you saw what they produce you'd do it too.

So go ahead dog-moms. Because I know you're just trying to relate. 

I know you know babies are a lot harder. 

And I know we each love our kids (fur and non-fur) with all of our hearts.

xoxo,

Dog Mom turned Baby Mom

P.S. I didn't forget the cat moms out there... But since cats make you work for their affection I'm guessing it's more like parenting a teenager instead of a baby.
