The cons sound almost the same as having a new baby!!
Oh yes!!! They are. Some differences are...
Cons:
He bites everyone/thing often, instead of just while nursing.
He bugs the kids with more than just crying.
He doesn't wear diapers.
Pros:
He's more engaging and plays with the kids more actively than a baby.
I don't have to take him everywhere like I would a baby.
He's learning faster than a baby would.
Hopefully he'll be cheaper in the long run. :)
Does he have a name? He is so cute. Our boys love our dog, but she is not allowed in the house. I love watching them try to ride around on her. I think every child should experience the joy and responsibility of having a dog.
He's so cute!
He is adorable! After the puppy phase is over you will have he will be:
a companion
a good listener
still fun, yet more reserved
always happy to see you
a kind and loving friend.
Wow! That sounds kind of like a good husband. Does Jarid know the competition he has?
Hahahaha, if I didn't see the picture I would think you just brought home a newborn baby. So funny.
I'm anxious to see more pix as he grows up.
