I am an obsessive pup Mom. I worry, I fret, I constantly think about my furry child. Any bump or oddity on her little body and I freak. It's not so bad my vet has a restraining order or anything but we are hovering close. She came into our lives and we are responsible to make this little ceratuer's life full and happy. I take that vow very seriously. Not to be outdone my husband is insanely overprotective of her. She is not allowed outside alone (we have a gated yard but someone might drive by and try to "steal" her) and is quite willing to give her all the blankets (hello, freezing over her) at night - not to mention the massive amounts of belly rubs a day. We talk to her, we sing to her - I even count words she understands to prove her high intelligence level.
So with all the baby talk around work I sit and smile knowing full well if my pup was a human child she would have an advanced acceptance to Harvard while these lumps of jello were mastering gurgling and maybe saying "da da". I do have a grasp on realty to know NOT to compare my (precious) furball to one of their more hairless species. I think I crossed that line once and whew not again. But she is smart and talented (can THEIR cihldren warn you the mail is here or bark when they have to go potty? No diapers needed for my girl!) . Oh yes and did I mention again how beautiful she is? She has BIG brown eyes that look up to you so full of truth and honesty ("Are you gonna finish that or can I have it? Huh Can I?") it literally will bring tears to my eyes.
My mother has "Ask my about my Grandpup" t shirts. She looks semi embarassed to be seen with them on - this the woman that on a dare a few years ago wore a tiara on our errands to the bank and butcher shop. She gets sent dozens of pictures which I imagine adorn her walls housed in thick wood carved frames that she must stop and gaze at when she walks by. She lovingly consoled me when I realized K. had a huge gash on her forehead from falling off the couch and me not being there. BTW my fault as I had rearranged the couch and she misjudged the distance (probably needs glasses).
Anyway I am an obsessed pup Mom.
