Pet dog = human child
‘Having a kid is just like having a dog.’
That is exactly right! When I first heard that common phrase I thought it to be ridiculous. Dogs require far less time and resources to manage, that’s so obvious! I presumed.
Wrong. After being with my girlfriend for a year, and taking care of her 8lb shizu-poodle onyx all the time, then having our first child, I can safely say having a kid is the exact same as having a dog if not easier.
Comfy bed for the baby, covered, she gets onyx’s hand me down.
Play pen so she doesn’t wonder and fall down the stairs, covered, she gets onyx’s indoor adjustable fence.
Food and water dishes, again she’s get’s onyx’s. We had to upgrade onyx to new Marshall’s Homegoods dog bowls. Only fair since he has seniority.
We have to go to work for 8+ hrs in a day. What to do with the baby? Easy! Old dog crate,. New baby crate!
Our baby is 2 ½ and finally walking?!
We want to go for a walk with her down the street but don’t want the responsibility of keeping an eye on her wandering habits. Simple solution. Onyx’s collar and leash. The only place our baby is going is max 8 ft away from us.
Toys? You already know by now where yer one is getting her toys.
I used to instantly dismiss the notion of raising a child being the same as raising a dog. I actually thought of those ppl, who said that idea aloud, as fuckheads. Boy was I sure wrong. I can contently say I was wrong. It sure is the same thing. All the amenities my kid needs I already have!
Every morning I bring onyx and my newborn to the dog park to let out some energy and socialize.
This is a pro tip; as the dog park is a place where dogs can freely pee or poo with the social respect of discarding your dog’s poo promptly, it naturally facilitates a baby’s bowel and urine excrements the same way. diapers? not necessary. But what about at home, in the living space? If my child dares a crap or pee in the house I hold her nose to the excrement and authoritatively say ‘NO!’ Thus conditioning her to poop/piss during her routine dog park excursions. Does my dog wear diapers? Never!
As the adage goes; raising a dog is the same as raising a child. Are you inline to bare the duty/ responsibility of caring for an infant? Get a dog it’s the same! Every step of the process will be paved via a disposable animal first!
