This made me laugh! I work part-time in a restaurant as a bartender/ waitress and I always think about this....! But of course, I can't say it to anyone because they will think I am the devil if I dare compare my dog to their child!!
But think about it....Duncan would sit quietly by my side or lie down next to me while I ate a nice dinner with family and friends. He would not bark or whine and he would wait until I took him outside to relieve himself. Unlike an infant, that would cry and "go" right there. ( Through no fault of the baby, I have to say!! It's just nature) BUT it is ironic isn't it!!!??!?!?!!
