Mommy Dearest

I do not have any children yet, but I do have two dogs and if they are any indication of how my future children will end up...I'm screwed. My dogs are spoiled rotten attention whores, and that's putting it lightly. Is it my fault? When I wake up in the morning and before I go to bed at night each doggie gets a kiss and told how cute they are and how much mommy loves them. The same goes when I leave and come home...a little excessive, I know. 


Jameson is our oldest dog, she is a 2 year old lab-bulldog mix that we adopted. At about 75 pounds it's a little difficult to get a great nights sleep with her sprawled out in our bed. If she's hungry she taps on her food bowl until she's fed, and if it's bedtime she just goes ahead and climbs in bed and waits for us to follow suit. She fits her name perfectly being that she's as feisty as someone is after a few shots of James....she is the epitome of a doggie princess.


With one super high-maintenance dog the next logical step was to get another one! Jack is an English Bulldog that was my Christmas gift from Jeremy. He was 7 weeks old when we got him, cute as can be...and he knew it! Jack has to have his folds cleaned twice a day, has a more sensitive digestive system than me, (and I'm lactose intolerant) and demands to be pet or cuddled with at all times. He also has an affinity for high heels and expensive glasses. Bye bye Burberry and Louboutin! 


With weekly trips to the pond and dog park as well as monthly trips to the pet store for toys and treats, I might have created two little spoiled monsters! Maybe they were born that way, but I have a sneaky suspicion this is all my fault. It's a good thing I am practicing this "mommy" role now before I am responsible for molding an actual little human because if my kids turn out anything like my dogs I am going to be broke...very, very broke.
