10 Things We Learned While Puppy-sitting10. Puppies get tired and need naps just like two year olds do.
9. Two year olds don't like to let puppies take naps. Gabe was constantly cuddling up next to Juno while she tried to sleep, trying to put his blanket on her, and give her kisses good-night.
8. Puppies love two year olds! They also love to chase, jump on, and bite two year olds.
7. Two year olds don't like it when puppies jump on them, knock them over, and use them as chew toys.
6. Despite how wonderfully potty trained their owner claims they are, puppies will still poop on your carpet. (This may be true for two year olds too.)
5. Puppies pooping on your carpet will trigger nightmares in pregnant women. Naturally the nightmares will be about puppies pooping on your carpet.
4. Puppies cry at night. Well, they don't cry when they are sleeping on your bed with you, but after the "carpet incident" who would let the puppy sleep on their bed? So to be accurate, puppies cry at night when they have to sleep in a box next to your bed. (I did put a blanket in the box with her!)
3. Puppies have to take potty breaks in the middle of the night. This however, is not a huge inconvenience considering a puppy and a pregnant woman take approximately the same number of potty breaks each night.
2. Your husband will think you are INSANE when you tell him you miss the puppy after it's been gone for two days and you want it back. He'll remind you about "carpet incident" and the lack of sleep, but you won't care because you miss the cute little ball of fluff. You may even have him convinced it's time to make a permanent addition to your family. Every boy needs a dog right?
1. When the puppy does come back and you spend another "blissful" two days together, you realize that puppies bite, pee, whine, and use your children as chew toys. Why didn't you see this before? Who knows, but you now can't wait for the puppy to go home! You have a two year old . . . that's enough work! And yes, my husband totally rolls his eyes at me (on a daily basis).

Ha ha! So funny. They are cute and fun, but I could never get a dog. It's hard and crazy enough having kids that I love sooo much.
You are brave to puppy sit. I wouldn't know the first thing about dogs, since I was raised having cats around. I remember your huge dog, Bo...
Josh just asked my yesterday if I thought you were going to get a dog now...he thought for sure that having that fluff ball around would make you want one....I disagreed ;)
that is too hilarious! i love it. and yes, that dog was adorable!
We will never own a dog even though I love little ones, just because of the "potty incidents" that ALWAYS seem to happen no matter how old they are!
Ahhh...go ahead and get the dog! You know you want to! OK, wait until you get used to your new addition before adding another. BUT I did love seeing your puppy on the web cam and we all know how much we loved having our dog. Your puppy is so cute and that is a breed I would want, but I think you should just be "foster parents" for right now! XOXO
I love the comparisons! That is great! You have a great blog-
I loved your blog about the puppy! I was like rotfl! :)
