She also came up with the following comparison: Having kids is a little like having a dog. You get that immediate connection with other dog owners, can talk about vets and breeds and share puppy pictures to no end. And when non-dog-people come over they can't understand how you can just watch the dog do doggie things and be so entertained by the thing for hours. And you're all like, "Sure, I clean up poop all day and she cries all night, but I love that dog and she's the best thing that's ever happened to us."

"Riley, COME!"
"Gonna make me?"
It has taught us to be consistent and reinforce what we ask her to do, otherwise she'll walk all over us (figuratively and literally).

Oh, I love that picture. How sweet! It's hard to imagine her that tiny.
We just got 2 puppies. Lab mixed with something - possibly pointer - and maybe some golden retriever. They are a mess! Any training tips are welcome.
I had the kid first and the dogs are definitely way easier. :)
