Dear Sedona,You have no idea how much your life is about to change. In a couple months, you're going to be just a dog.
Love, Kerney
Dear Kerney,
Tell me, are there any upsides to going having a baby in the house? Do babies from Taiwan share their food with you? Those surfboard rice crackers they like aren't half bad.
If any other canine readers out there have some tips on how to train the new baby to not pull tails and feed us rice crackers, I'd appreciate your help.
Lots of licks and love, Sedona the babydog

ReplyDeleteDear Sedona -
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... as far as I can tell, there are NO upsides to having a baby in the house. I have definitely fallen from grace just a little bit since the "new one" came a few days ago. Though - maybe I just need to be patient ... rumor has it when they get older and start to eat real food from a "high chair" (aren't they all high?) - they drop crumbs on the ground. Kind of like a free for all buffet. Hang in there kid. I'm feeling your pain - Wrigley (I live with baby Cooper)
Sedona - I was really ticked when my parents brought a baby home (as if loving me weren't enough for them!).
ReplyDeleteBut, there is an upside to my new gig as a big brother:
1. I get to take long walks every day and my mom is so busy navigating the stroller, she barely even notices when I stop to mark my spots!
2. This new kid is messy. I have staked my claim right beneath his booster seat during mealtimes. I am seriously cashing in on the people food.
3. My mom and dad are pretty distracted. So far, I have flown under the radar long enough to eat a couple pieces of pizza right off the counter, chew up one of the baby's plastic plates, and eat his leftovers (I'm fast and can pull this one off fairly regularly) - and, he's only been home a month! This can only get better, right?
Plus, my mom and dad feel kind of sorry for me - so, I am on the receiving end of lots of great guilt-lovies. I'm expecting Christmas to be awesome this year!
Don't give up hope, Sedona. You're freaking adorable - I have no doubt you'll be able to successfully manipulate your p's with a little puppy sadness any 'ole time!

Sedona,
ReplyDeleteHi there! All I have to say is it was wise your mom and dad made you and "only dog". We have 2 babies under two in the house now and my mom is way overwhelmed. Because of it, my dogsister "Stitch" just got shipped off to another family. I was the first dogbaby, so I KNOW I'm not going anywhere. Hang in there, and Max was right...good things are found at the base of highchairs!
Love
Lilo
Dear Sedona, You can make up for all the tail pulling by kissing their faces... they always have leftover crumbs! Plus, they have smells that are sooo fun to sniff... lavender baby wash and purfumed butts! They even act like us, crawling everywhere. Sadly, I can't get mine to chase their tails. Mine can bail me out of the dreaded nail-trimming with just one wail, and they are always happy to see you (watch out for the squeals!) Good luck with yours... I gotta run and check on mine.
ReplyDeleteLove your boyfriend, Appa
p.s. I grew my hair out baby! ha ha
I'm laughing out loud. I'm glad to hear the same things happen in other's houses. Sometimes I think I have the most rotten dog in the world, and that I created it (which is entirely true, I just now feel less guilty about it). I do think they will love each other someday and Drew is quite interested in HER right now, it's just unrequited. When he toddles over to her, she hangs her head and leaves. She does hang out under the high chair, and occasionally lick his hands, and she gets extra guilt cuddles at night, so perhaps it's not ALL bad...
ReplyDeleteHilarious post, Sarah.... you're getting closer and closer!!!!!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog when I tried to create a blog with the same name as yours! We are in the adoption process from China and have chosen the name "Hannah Claire" too. Congratulations on your beautiful little girl!
Many blessings to you and your family as you finish your journey to your little girl.
Sedona...okay so the first few months you won't exist but after that boy does it get fun! The kid starts sneaking you all those delicious treats (yummy!) And they insist, even when the parent people don't want to on taking you for a walk, and yes they do let you stop every time you want to. Okay, so you have to suffer being dressed in funny human clothes but are those treats and sneaked food worth it and the cuddles they like to give well, thats just the gravy on the doggy biscuit.
ReplyDeleteHey Sedona!
ReplyDeleteHow about a shout out for the CATS!
We get ignored just like you do , AND we have to work a lot harder to get people to notice you! We don't have that whole *BARKING* thing going for us like ya'll do. I mean REALLY-they catch you sleeping in the crib with the baby ONE stinkin' time and your treated like a felon.
Beware My Friend...BE-WARE!
Smell ya later,

Hello fellow Sarah! your daughter is absolutely beautiful!!! So precious!! We recently accepted the referral of our little girl from Taiwan and I love looking at other blogs. Yours has been great! I so relate to your insomnia filled nights wondering what your little peanut is doing. Congratulations! I wish for you a speedy court process! Sarah
ReplyDeleteDear Sedona,
ReplyDeleteI am a pro at this and I say just look cute and sit by Hannah all the time. That is how I trick my kid into giving me stuff. He now thinks that he is being mean if he doesn't share.. of course if mom sees him she pretends she didn't because she says it's cute.. GOT HER FOOLED! Dad on the other hand... watch out for them!!! Relax.. there will be more crumbs and dropped food than you can handle....I am looking forward to the new kid coming home now that I know what to expect!!!!!
Arf, Aroooooo!!!

Sedona, my dear, enjoy being the ONLY CHILD while you can. When my parents brought home that boy it really messed up my life! I used to sleep ALL DAY but now my Mommy stays home ALL THE TIME and the boy is always yelling "puppy!" to find me and wake me up. I try to get away from him but he WALKS - ugh! He does like to kiss me, though, and Mommy always makes him say, "Sorry" when he steps on my tail. He's also pretty quick to slip me a goldfish cracker or teddy graham, so he's not all bad. The worst part is just that Mommy doesn't have much time for me anymore and that makes me (and her) sad.
