Is it easier to have a child or a sheepdog?!?

I am trying to get myself, my house, and Finnigan ready for a 5 day trip to Miami that will start in the wee hours of tomorrow. While going through all my check lists I am realizing how much life has changed since getting Mr. Finnigan.
First, I am having my Aunt stay with him, so his schedule isn't disrupted. That means making sure all his meals and treats are planned out. I have boiled marrrow bones, so he can have an extra special treat, and all his toys are easliy accessible.
I just finished using the carpet cleaner to clean "his" chair, Mr. Wet Feet has chosen the only light colored piece of furniture as his perch. So, just in case some 2 legged person wants to sit in it, it is now clean!
While typing he has just brought me a chewed, slimy used to be a lint brush. I love my boy :roll:
Next on the to do list is to pack my shoes and see how many pairs are left. Any cork soled shoes are long gone, Finn vs. the Birkenstocks was a main event last summer.
With everything stated above, would I consider being without him one minute? NEVER! Would I love one or two more-of course, it's all part of being owned by a sheepie! Now back to the packing......
I guess I needed a diversion from getting ready!

ROTFLMAO .......... :lol: :lol: :lol:
very funny :lol: :lol: that one gave me a good laugh at work!
Even bikini-less, I hope you have a good vacation. :D
Dogs and kids I see no difference. Its the teenagers :twisted: ya got to watch. They are more work or should I say worry. At least dogs do not try to sneak out, try to con you into going to a party that will not have a good ending. And school, homework can not even go there and we wonder why they look at you as if you a dumb, I do not remember taking that stuff AND THEY have the same teachers I had. :cry: BUT i do rember doig the same to my folks and they sit back and laugh now :roll:
I'll take DOGS any day over kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It must be easier to have kids, as we just have Oscar and I never do things the easy way! :lol: And Oscar is high maintenance........ The things we do so as not to upset his delicate constitution. :roll:

Laurie and an Uber-Spoiled Oscar
i have either 2 dogs or 2 kids depends on their moods in reality i only have 1 of each but somedays i can't tell the difference.


zoe and einy
Both are high maintenance
Both cost a lot of money
You worry about both when you're gone
But Dogs can't drive! :D
They can not do dishes or clean up dog poo. :cry: Dust.... I do like it when the kids want something. :lol:
When I was little I asked my mom if I could have puppies instead of babies. I love my stepson I'm glad I got him when he was 5. Babies always scared me.

Mine are willing to clean up dog poo....but not in a way I'd like! :evil: :lol:

I'm betting they'd be up for "washing" dishes too...but, again.... :wink: :roll:
George stole my answer! :D

Me again , I can't help but show these photos I recieved a while ago on my email asking that very question. I

HAHAHAHAHA Marianne, that's enough to scare anyone one off both. 8O

Kids adopt at 20, well past the teenage phase and send straight off to work :lol: A friend told me that years ago, oh why oh why did I ever not listen. :roll:

Dogs are special, you can tell them things and they don't argue with you or talk back, no out night clubbing/partying or driving and walking in the door in the wee hours of the morning. :wink:

Dogs and kids are at times grey hairs sprouting or loads of fun. :D

Would not of missed out on either. :D
8O 8O 8O 8O oh my :!:
OMG, I am busting a gut laughing at those pictures. I have seen the kid one before, but it still great, especially compared with the equally bad dog one! :lol: :lol: :lol:
