My Son is My Puppy

By | May 16, 2013

Do you have pets?

Let me rephrase that, do you NEED pets?

Some people do. Some people swear their pets save them. I think that can be true.

I do not have a pet, per se, but I kind of have a puppy.

Ok, fine. I have a little boy and sometimes the terms are synonymous. People ask me if we will get a pet. It’s a thing folks expect once you’ve made some babies. Always the what next.

“I’d like to get a cat,” I say. “But Chaucer would most likely kill it on accident. Or on purpose.”

“How about a puppy?” they suggest.

“I already have one. His name is Chaucer.”

Why My Son Is My Puppy:

1.) He crawls on everything.

2.) He hides in strange places. Strange, but obvious places.

3.) He jumps from everything.

4.) He requires a leash in all public settings.

5.) His paws are ALWAYS muddy.

6.) He finds a way to make a mess out of cleaning supplies.

7.) He just wants to learn new tricks.

8.) His kisses are messy.

9.) He cuddles like a champ.

10.) He really prefers his doghouse over anything.

    I have a cat. I have a dog… I have a son… (waiting for his dog like qualities to show in the future) and I have a husband (that counts for an animal too, right?)

    Haha, how cute! I am one of those people who needs pets. I have grown up with pets in my house, and it feels empty without them. We currently have a dog, a cat, and 4 chickens. I think you should add something to your list though! Does he eat food off the floor? My little one sure does.. It’s a race between the dog and the child.

    And, he’s ridiculously cute and makes you think you want a puppy even though you swore you were off puppies.

    Great post! You almost make me want this baby to be a boy… almost. Stopping by from Mama Kat’s.

    My mom used to call us all puppies. In high school I thought it was wildly funny to ask her what that meant we should call her.

    How cute! My daughter is my pet too! Some days I am seriously convinced that I gave birth to a cat or a dog depending on her choice that day. It is scary how well she does at imitating a cat grooming itself!

    Oh dang! Yes! My son will be 10 tomorrow and he’s a gangly skinny kid now. But when he was Chaucer’s age, he was my puppy. So sweet!

    You are so right. Your little pet seems a handful and with multiple capabilities. You don’t seem to need another pet. ????

    I love your descriptions accompanied by the pictures!
