Call me crazy, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this dog is not going to adapt well to a baby in the house.<\/p>\n
For one thing, the dog randomly jumps to his feet barking at something-or-another. He’s going to wake the baby ten times a day and I’m going to want to kill him. I know, because he wakes me ten times a day and I want to kill him.<\/p>\n
He also doesn’t do well without attention. Attention that he wants, when he wants it. His daddy is away, so his favorite pasttime is standing there barking at me. I’m pregnant; I can’t wrestle. I try to fetch, I try to let him run around, but no. He stands there and barks, demanding I bring his daddy home.<\/p>\n
And I really don’t think he’s going to be too happy when daddy has a new center of his life. It’s not going to be an easy adjustment.<\/p>\n
(The rest of the zoo are just fine with whatever goes on. The other dog may freak out at a little crying monster in the house – since anything that moves terrifies her – but she’s happy to nap at your feet all day while you do whatever, and the cats just want to get fed.)<\/p>\n

I am not finding the book Belly Laughs<\/i> as hilarious as I’d been led to believe it is. Maybe it would be funnier if I were further along. I’ll re-read it later. I think the Girlfriend’s Guide<\/em> is causing me to giggle a lot more.<\/p>\n From the Hips<\/em> I’m finding to be a very pretty book of very basic information. It appears at times to have more quotes than actual information. Quotes in very pretty multi-colored talk-bubbles… but not all that useful or interesting, IMO. The info is very condensed and at-a-glance. I definitely could have done without it.<\/p>\n
