New Appreciation...

This past weekend, Mike and I had a small taste of what it would be like to have three "children". My family went out of town, and we watched Mookie and Abbie for a few of the nights that they are gone. Not that I am meaning to compare dogs to children, but taking care of them was a lot of work! Mookie, Abbie, and Faline each have their own distinct personality and needs that had to be met. There were definitely times when I felt like I had to play referee between two "children" and then comfort the one who didn't get her way. This weekend gave me a whole new appreciation for stay at home moms...I don't know how you do it everyday! Mike and I decided that the dogs will have us well trained for parenthood when that time comes around.
