I became a dog mom in 2011 when Marcus finally gave in to my protests that the apartment pet deposit would be worth it. I'm so glad he gave in. And I'm so glad I let him pick the dog. We got her from CAPS; so if you're local to the Houston area, go adopt. In 2015 when Jaxson joined the fam we realized several of the ways they're alike. Some are pretty comical. Obviously, I know that human kids are way better. But still, being dog parents taught us mini-lessons that prepared us in many ways to parenting a human child.
1. They're both afraid of the vacuum and blender. So special arrangements are made. Dad takes the kids outside so mom can clean without any barking or crying. 2. They both go for the pile of crumbs, dirt, and dust when I'm sweeping. It never fails, if I've got a pretty good pile ready to put in the dust pan - either the dog's walked through it or the baby's crawled through it. They're fast. 3. They both cost me a little extra money at the grocery store, but they are so easy to spend for. Those little bones she'll devour in minutes, or those cute bath toys he will love for $3. I'm a sucker.
