Excerpt from Friday morning...
Dog-daddy: Hey, we're out of Keira's ultra-hypo-allergenic dog food. I'll pick some more up
today.
Dog-mama: How much did she have?
Dog- daddy: About half of what she normally does.
Dog-mama: (looking in the fridge) Well, I can give her a couple hot dogs or something.
Dog-daddy: Are those cooked?
Dog-mama: Nope, raw. But you remember eating them raw as a kid, right? I thought they
were delicious raw.
Dog-daddy: No, actually I DON'T remember that. But it explains a lot, though...
Keira-dog: gobble, gobble, gobble...gulp...smack, smack, slurp...
Sometimes as a mother you have to take short cuts and be a bit of a slacker.
Incarcerating your child in a laundry basket is no crime.
It's just working smarter, not harder.

Someone needs to call the authorities on these slackers!
(notice the 2 little teeth on the bottom...)
And sometimes we rely on Keira to be a babysitter.
We pay her in dog food...and raw hot dogs.
Here's to all you slacker moms out there...
This job is a marathon, not a sprint, so we have to conserve some energy
for the big stuff and not sweat the small stuff!

Man, our dogs ARE alike! We have to buy special hypo-allergenic food for Didge, too. What do you serve Keira?
BTW, Elle loves being licked in the face by Didge. I guess that means that I pay him in baby food leftovers...
You are so funny. This is a great post. And, your girl is just too cute.
I didn't think it was possible for our girl to get any cuter....but she does! LOVE the teeth and the "big girl" jammies! No, you are not incarcerating your baby, only teaching her the merits of playing in a contained environment!
Amy, we give Keira Hill's Rx Diet Ultra-Allergen ZD. I think it works fairly well, but her main allergens per the blood tests are felines and bluegrass. Um, yeah, we live in Kentucky. As in, the "Bluegrass State". We just couldn't bring ourselves to do the wkly injections though. The vet also suggested that we could vacuum the cats!
Little Hania is the cutest little girl EVER!!! That yawn.... how cute!!
Oh my, I knew I liked you! I'm a GSD dog-mom too! We're on our 3rd one so far, and thankfully she hasn't had the issues (with food especially) that the other 2 had. Oh and Hania is adorable too! :-)
