On Being a Pet Momma
Let's get one thing out in the open, right up front. I have four children. No, I did not give birth to them. No, they are not human. They are children none the less. We currently have four girls, two dogs and two cats. We talk to them like they are human and treat them better than some people treat children. The sleep in our bed, they get on the couch, they make us crazy. We buy them treats, toys and even clothing when needed. I worry about them as if they are children when we leave them with a sitter for the weekend. Our youngest has bad manners and is headstrong. She loves to "taste" everyone who comes to the door. No biting, just a bit of doggie mouthing and gumming. She gets very excited when people come and she loves to talk. She's the Houdini of the group. Can get out of most anything that she finds confining. She loves treats, being free and sleeps on her back under our bed at night. Hedy is a mixed breed rescue dog, part husky, chow and rott
