And they call it puppy love
(Category: Snooze Button Dreams )

The other day, Bacon walked by the puppy and gave her a kick. Not a mean kick, just a little "Hey there, I'm kicking you, what are you going to do about it?" type of kick.

Lovely Wife was the first to react as she yelled out ''Why did you do that!?" and he replied with only a look, head cocked just so and a facial expression that clearly said ''I haven't the foggiest idea what you are talking about". She rephrased her query ''Why did you kick the puppy?" He shrugged his shoulders and uttered the classic ''I dunno" that all parents are infinitely familiar with but his look clearly still indicated that he was clueless as to the subject under discussion.

So yesterday I was reading a story to little Burger. Kota was laying next to me, hoping for some petting action. The other two were sitting around having their brains sucked out by the evil glowing box in the corner. Kota got bored waiting for me to pay her attention and got up to find our other dog, Nicki. As she passed by Bacon, she calmly and casually turned her head to bite him as she passed. Not a mean bite, just a playful puppy bite. A bite that said "I bit you. Do something about it."

I yelled out "Kota! No! Why did you do that?" (animals can understand complex questions as long as you are angry when you ask them.) She sat down and looked at me, head cocked just a little bit and wearing an expression that said ''I haven't the foggiest idea what you are talking about." I didn't bother rephrasing the question.

We're in trouble.

No, you are definitely not in trouble; you've just taken a giant step in learning about parenting! The raising of young of almost all mammals has striking similarities, regardless of specie.

So again and in short:
We ARE in trouble!

Take heart, all is not lost. Just keep thinking on those cute little baby animals in the "cutesy-poo" documentaries about how the "Animal Kingdom" raises its young, including the ocassional swipe of a maternal paw to the head or rump of a young-un, and then the licks of caring given afterwards. Just stay two steps ahead of them and all will end well.

Yeah, it's work, but worth the effort, all the same!!
