As I have discussed
before, I don’t have kids and I have no urge yet in my life to have them. I’m a 32 year big child that just loves her
doggies (is it bad that I almost wrote dogging there? HAHA).
I’m always ask (I
think they do it to annoy me) that IF I have a child what I’m going to do with
my dog? Now I don’t know what planet
these people live on but to me my dog is like my child. I do everything with him, feed him, walk him,
play with him and tuck him in a night.
I’m not one of those over the top ones that dresses him up; he’s so big
my clothes would fit him for goodness sake.
I did dress up my old boxer one year for Halloween and put a few hoodies
on her but she loved it.
Anyway back to the
story. After much questioning of ‘What
do you mean? What would I do with him?’.
He wouldn’t be treated any differently; he was there first so nothing
would change for him. So once we moved
passed that part the next question they ask is ‘What would you do if the dog
didn’t like the baby, would you make him live outside or put him in a cage?’
You can guess my
answer ‘Fuck No!’
The next part of the
answer is always my favourite because the expression on some people’s faces is
just far too funny (this is a joke by the way; I’m not that much of a hard
nut).
Would I put the dog
in a cage? ‘No! If the baby and the dog
didn’t get on then the baby and its mosses basket can go into a cage in the
kitchen’. After the horror comes over
their face I continue. ‘That will be
handy too because if the baby cries then I can just cover the cage up with a
blanket just like my sister does with her parrot when he gets really
noisy’.
People in work have
now realised that I’m joking when I say these things and they laugh, but the
first few times of giving my answer had them questioning my mentality for a
while I think. You could see the wheels
turning in their heads trying to figure it all out. Little amuses the innocent!
