I never thought I'd ever be a "dog person" but here I am, sitting at this computer with three little (well, one not-so-little) four-legged friends by my feet. It's a Friday night and perhaps I should go out. Snickers asked me if I wanted to join his buddies but I opted to stay home. Home is where the heart is and home is where my three beautiful friends are tonight so that's where I wanted to be.
As of today, Pacquiao is officially 91 days old. It's been interesting to see him grow and every day I swear he's getting bigger and is changing. The other day his one ear decided to pop up so now we're waiting for the other to join it. His nose is now 3 fingers long, yes, strangely enough we've been measuring his nose in finger widths... hahaha.
Ahhhh, my four-legged friends. I'd call them dogs but neither them nor I think they're just dogs. We're convinced that Pyen Chi, is the older wiser sister; she's a closet lesbian. As for Balboa, despite him being a boy, he's quite the rebellious princess and yes, I think he likes the boys... or just Pacquiao. And in regards to Pacquiao, he's still super innocent but he's an ultra happy boy, always waging his tail. Ad it doesn't matter how tired he is, he'll always come to me when I call him.
My reasons as to why a dog is better than a baby:
1. A baby will eat you out of house and home then complain for more.
BUT A DOG… it’s happy with just an old tennis ball (or in Pyen Chi’s case, a banana).
2. A baby takes years to learn and develop into a little person.
BUT A DOG… the speed of growth and development is quick. A couple of weeks after being born it is already walking.
3. A baby requires a lot of patience and years of guidance.
BUT A DOG… it just requires a couple of weeks of paper training and some simple command training.
4. A dog is more self-sufficient, you can leave it home alone with some food, water and a toy.
BUT A BABY… do that and you’ll be coming home to social services!
5. A dog stays cute.
BUT A BABY… they eventually turn into children, then into teenagers… need I say more.
6. A dog is less expensive to feed and, for most dogs, no clothing is required.
BUT A BABY… they need to be clothed and they grow out of their clothing so ridiculously fast.
7. A dog loves you unconditionally – more than it loves itself.
BUT A BABY… will grow up and one day scream “I hate you”.
8. A dog is a great workout partner.
BUT A BABY… with a baby, who has the time to work out?! Exactly.
9. A dog is someone else’s baby so there is no weight gain, no labor pains, and stretch marks.
BUT A BABY… you have to carry it for 9 months in your womb, no thanks. I’ll take letting someone else have my baby (four-legged that is) over being able to milk the excuse “I’m pregnant” and eat everything and anything I want.
10. A dog can sleep in your bed till it’s old and grey.
BUT A BABY… there gets a point/age when a child isn’t a child anymore so it sleeping in your bed isn’t very appropriate.
11. A dog in bed is like an instant pillow and cuddle-buddy.
BUT A BABY… prone to bed-wetting and dangerous if rolled over upon, no thanks.
12. A dog can be spayed or neutered, so to control unexpected pregnancies.
BUT A BABY… you can’t go about spaying or neutering a kid, you crazy?!
That's 12 solid pro-dog reasons. My vote is for dog. Dog is “god” spelt backwards but child is just “dlihc” (nothing), coincidence?! I think not.
