He was pretty anxious (and strong), although he hadn't entered his "I'm a male, grr" puberty stage, so he wasn't trying to prove himself to the other dogs. I was checking out and the receptionist was pretty unhelpful/grouchy with my trying to juggle a muscly, 80-lb baby and a deft 15 lb baby, trying to grab my pen while I wrote a check. A nice lady offered to help, and I surprised her by handing her my (real) baby! I think she was a little surprised and muttered something about "I thought you would give me the dog," but I didn't trust LB, and wasn't giving much thought to handing babies to strangers (oops). My husband now always takes LB to the vet. <br /><br />Anyway, I joke I became a little less of a dog person, even though I consider myself one, and my husband became a little more of one (he grew up with cats). when we got our dog. I am 100% behind any mom of the house who puts her foot down on getting a dog until the kids are grown.

I was blessed to be able to take him to the vet yesterday and wait in the teeny tiny waiting room with him and 5 other dogs with owners for an hour. And my hip-hugger was also on my hip. For an hour. And Calvin was NOT well-behaved like the other animals who were calmly sitting or lying down. My 10yo was there to help, but as with the children, sometimes only Mommy can do certain things with the dog. Sheesh.<br /><br />But he does let the kids climb all over him and poke him in the eyes and play in his food while he's eating it, so I guess he's not all bad. And when he has a seizure, I feel like my heart's being squeezed to death.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124853867811087834noreply@blogger.com
