OH, Logan, Alpha, Scmalpha,, who listens to that Carrie girl anyway? What does she know!? JUST KIDDING! Of course I am as guilty as sin. I do baby Cody, I do make sure he sleeps on a soft pillow, that I wash his paws ever night.(HEY! it's fall, the leaves, the mud, the dirt! No snickering!) and just hug and kiss him to pieces and lots of other things I automatically do. But deep down I KNOW he is my pet, my dog, but he is also a loved member of our family. We babied our parakeets too. We baby each other in a sweet loving way -every living creature needs to be loved. I call him my baby 'cause he is just-well by baby. Yes, he gets his way sometimes, yes. I get mad at myself for not always being alpha (tied score)and Lord knows I made way too many 1st time mistakes. Could be better, could be worse. I too will try to be more Alpha, but I really think he "has me On" as Carrie would say. I will be baby-ing Alpha girl!
