I watched as Andy calmly began the training process again. Speaking softly but firmly as she nipped again and again. Explaining to me what he was doing; Alpha male, puppy tantrum, etc. It was sort of fascinating. Or maybe that was the Merlot talking.
As he further explained her motives and responses, it occurred to me. So I asked;
MM: Dude, if you can do this with the dog, why can't you do it with the kids? Now that would be impressive.
Andy (wistfully): Some people can...

I can't train puppies OR kids ;)
Yeah, our three year old AND our 9 year old dog still won't listen... sigh.
I love puppy teeth!
So women are to toddlers as men are to puppies?
*shakes head* I don't get it.
I actually do better with kids than with dogs. Go figure.
First of all, I love the photo. Second, I think so people think the whole puppy thing is easier (I think those people haven't met my two year old on a bad day)
lol. Are those PJs? They're ADORABLE!! (um - if they're pants, I like those, too). Yeah - I've often felt as if the kids were puppies this past year.... I am alpha mama! :)
Adorable!!! I love puppy pictures!!
I agree on that somewhat--children are slightly as trainable as a puppy is and it just takes patience and time and effort.
I would prefer a kid over a dog though, as at least I know at some point, I can probably train the kid to make me a meal or run my errands, whereas the dog is work for his entire life.
Nice blog you havve
