Being a Doggy Mama - 10 ways puppies are like human children

 

Puppies are like babies/toddlers because...

1. they put everything in their mouths
2. they don't understand daylight savings time and get hungry at what would have been dinner time
3. you buy expensive toys and they play with a stone. a piece of cardboard or an ice cube
4. they scream when they don't want to go to sleep and you put them in bed
5. you are constantly cleaning up poop and pee
6. everything you try to do takes double to three times as long as it used to
7. they wake you up in the middle of the night
8. when they get tired, they just flop down in the closest comfortable spot
9. they wriggle like a ferret in your arms when you are holding them and they want to be somewhere else
10. you're busy, then you suddenly realize there's silence and you just know that means something bad is going on and you find yourself sprinting outside to find out what's happening.

And, finally...

... hugging them to your chest is the most heart-melting feeling you've ever had

How about: They wriggle in your arms to be let down and yet immediately want to be held again...

OR: They seem to defecate twice as much as they eat. How does that happen?

OR: They always seem to vomit twice the amount they ate. Gross, I know. Still.... true.

And yes, when you hold them tight they can erase all the day's little problems. Personally, I think we were given pets to pad the harshness of every day life.

Completely agree with everything you just said!

How does Puppy Girl eat once and then, afterwards, poop twice, with each being close the volume of what she ate?

It's a minor miracle....
