it's day 3 with Laika and i already know i'm going to end up one of those annoying people with no real children who only talks about their pet incessantly, assuming first that other people actually care, and anthropomorphizing her to the point of deity with fur.
cause i'm sitting here alone at work waiting for a meeting to get over so i can set up some A/V, picturing laika alone at home in her crate for the first extended period of time. "did she get enough water today?", "maybe she's too hot in there?", "have i been training her right?", "will she start to get anxiety problems if i leave her alone to much?", "will there be poop when i get home?"...
i'm retarded, and i know this will all pass.
but seriously, kudos to all you with human children, and especially more than one. i'd die of a heart attack or hyperventilate with worry.
however, it does make me excited to be a parent someday. laika should be enough for now, though.
here's what my nephew said last week, according to my sister:
"Is Kevin still alone?"
My sister Emily said, "Alone?"
He said,"I mean alive......uhhhh......i mean alone."
"He lives alone."
"oh"
"He's not married and doesn't have kids yet so he lives alone." She explained.
"well maybe you could sell him one of us." He suggested.
(At least a dog is a start)

I am not sure you are a creepy uncle, though Emily may need to watch out for traveling slave traders.
Well, you typically don't leave human children at home in a cage while you're working. That tends to keep the anxiety to a minimum.
Human kids don't break as easily either.... way more resilient. Plus when you have kids, you forget you have a dog most of the time.
ha ha ha.... your nephew is cute!
A dog is a prep for human children, people start out with animals, then kids, then go back to animals after their kids grow up.
It is so fun to be a little bit in touch with you again. You will have to meet my kids someday and you will see why people have kids, mine are the best. best of luck with your little pup. he is cute.
