...and *obviously* children are very different from dogs. But my family always had a dog when I was growing up, and I can't help but be amused by the similarities that present themselves at times.
"No Honey, don't eat the garbage!"
"Anne, I really think it's a bad idea for you to crawl under my chair like that..." *thwack* "WAHHHHHHHHHH!"
"If you're going to act like that on the couch, you're going to have to sit on the floor!"
"Uh oh, what's that smell? Oh God, what's that *on the floor*?!"
"Anne spit up, let me wipe...No, no, don't play in it!!"
"Anne, no, let me have that. No, NO, that can't go in your mouth..."
And my personal favorite:
"It's too quiet in here, what on earth are they up to?!"
HB used to pant especially when he was looking around for the nipple. He'd get so frustrated (had latching issues). It was cute, but I know he was only behaving that way because he was hungry.
