Kids are a lot like dogs. Yeah, I said it.
I have had dogs, and I have kids, so consider me a reliable source. These are two of my babies, Bosco and Ben.
I had a friend over for dinner one night and we both have 3 year old little boys and 1 year old little girls. I didn’t have an extra high chair for her baby girl, so I put a plastic mat on the floor, put some food on a plate for the babies, then set it down and let them have at it like they were two little shih tzu’s. I realize some people might be a little offended by the comparison, but hey, I just call it like I see it.
Here are a few more reasons I can’t help but compare kids to our furry family members:
1. They both drool
2. We spend a fortune on buying them chew toys when all they really want to chew on is your most expensive pair of shoes
3. If you don’t take them to the park to run, they will jump all over you and drive you crazy.
4. Potty pads vs. diapers, really, is there much of a difference?
5. When they learn a new trick like clapping, or shaking hands they will never do it on command
6. You are always telling them to stop jumping on the furniture
7. Pack and play vs. dog kennel, again, is there really much of a difference?
8. They like to stop and smell the roses when they go on a walk
9. It's not uncommon to see children on leashes and dogs in strollers
10. They both always want to sleep in your bed
11. Your husband is always blaming them for passing gas
12. They are always trying to eat something off of the floor
13. It's inevitable that they will pee on your carpet. Little tip: Pour salt on the spot where they peed and then vacuum it up. Works like a charm!
14. And the BEST thing about dogs and kids are that they love us unconditionally and all they want in return is our love and attention!
