Sadie's thoughts on human babies~

[LG & Sadie]

As far as these human children go-I am not sure I understand all the hubbub, they don’t do very much at first which is fine with me, you know where they are; and they are strapped in- WHEW. Once they start moving and grasping it is all over. I walked past my 9 month old nephew one time and had to turn around quickly to look to see what could possibly have happened to my back end. Low and behold little sweet face was grasping the largest handful of white hair I have seen outside of my brush after a week’s worth of grooming! Their toys which closely resemble mine are apparently sacred, however, the only person who seemed to really care when I stole one was the Mommy of the human child-not the human child. What gives? I was most often just trying to make it so the toy smelled less new and clean, more like it was loved. There is some kind of clean obsession it’s as if my tongue doesn’t do a perfectly good job? Bottles and Sippy cups are incredibly tedious so by choice I leave those alone-however; I hear a whole chorus of the N-O word if ever I am headed in the direction of one of those hitting the floor. Speaking of hitting the floor-these kids disturb the peace! Every single nap of mine is somehow interrupted. Library voices, quiet time, solitude, all things of the past, and oh the way they can squawk is unmatched by us canine’s-and that first year they do plenty of it! Two of these little ones now wear sneakers, but they thankfully know the word “gentle”. I just have to pray there is a rational grown up watching who can differentiate what gentle is exactly. This isn’t easy for me because I like to have my own perimeter and I like it to be respected. I am very tempted to say the only English word I can speak, which is grrrrr and means, “back off”. But, I have matured and have only resorted to the aforementioned behavior once on a very bad day for me, ear infections, and a seizure that day-plus canine cousin visiting and lying on my bed! The rule is if I go in my house (a soft crate from Orvis-w a bed and fleece blanket along with my pink dino) the toddlers are told to leave me be-but, trust me that is a work in progress. But, my theory on kids, dogs, and all things is-we are all a work in progress. My Auntie posted this picture on facebook, and my Mommy hasn’t actually told me yet-even though she has known for 6 months! She wasn’t sure how to tell me this family baby boom is also a work in progress. My canine cousin isn’t well read-and doesn’t write, he has no clue what is coming. But, I bet my doodle friends would know! I wonder if I can steal this one’s toys, blankets, and tiny socks. I am a sucker for those tiny socks!

Sadie, my human brothers are college age...well one just got out of graduate school whatever that is. They are pretty cool. They play frisbee and give me pizza. But they aren't here much.
I don't know much about the little ones, though. Their feet taste pretty good. I like the ones that try to eat those little bitty round things that fall all over the floor...cheerios? The ones that try to do pull ups using my fur...those I'm not fond of.

Harlow I agree, doodle slobber makes all good things better. Darwin, I like them too I will admit-yes, loud when crying! I like them much better happy! The toys thing I will never understand-why they can't be shared I will never know. I think my Mom is going to join the baby group. Albus, some of my nephews do have squeakers, and my niece has this small piano with the most perfect height legs to just relax and gnaw on! I gave that up after puppyhood though-what a shame. Yes, Peri is going to feel this way about human siblings-especially if it means a change in the pecking order around the house. Now-that is a tough one to take!

More facts from Sadie now that my belly is full. I love the little unpredictable ones-they are always sticky and fun to lick, they seem very happy and I like that they don't always want to listen either! In that regard we get along great!

Hmm, I have only seen these tiny humans in the yard next door or when mom takes me for a walk. I think I might like playing with their toys. Items are always better when covered in doodle slobber. Your friend, Harlow

Sadie - What is up with them not letting us play with their toys? I wasn't going to hurt it, I just wanted to chew on it for a while... hmph. Well, I like Wes, my baby cousin. He is nice and pets me, and he loves it when I lick his feet. He's kind of loud when he cries though - Darwin.

p.s. If you would like to join the Doodles and Babies group, we'd love your input, stories and pictures!

This is probably how Peri will feel when she has some human siblings one day. Oh goodness....
cute post - thanks!
