Coffee and Milo and ... me!
(This is a tongue in cheek post: of course children top dogs any day, and I deeply and completely look forward to that day that I have them; but I have to pay tribute to my two “fur babies”. For all intents and purposes, they are my kids)
1. You can leave them at home all day while you go to work. (Although I am mighty curious as to what they get up to all day…)
2. You can pretty much do anything to them and they will still wag the tail and love you.
3. You don’t have to give them toilet paper or nappies. (diapers). They just do it on the lawn.
4. Little love dog will keep you warm at night without crying or asking for anything.
5. You don’t have to pay for their education. They will learn how to bark, catch food and sleep all by themselves.
6. They are the welcoming committee when you get home. Tails are wagging and they are jumping up and down. Try and get that much reaction from a sullen teenager.
7. They are grateful for any food that they get. No fussy eaters here.
8. They follow you around with the utmost loyalty.
9. They are the built in door bell and will always let you know if someone is even in the vicinity of your home.
10. And when you are not there, the ears are lifted in high alert for when you return. You come home to a faithful friend who is waiting for you.
Dedicated to Coffee and Milo: I couldn’t possibly ask for anybody better!

I have to admit… I’m a cat person by default, but this post is just charming. What sweet dogs you have an what a loving dog mama you are
I actually used to be a cat person before these two wormed their way into my heart! Thanks.
Thank you! I need to read this every time I am down and out due to infertility. At least I still have my pups!!!
thanks Serendiptie, they really do help, don’t they…
Yay, great post! Dogs are the BEST! I don’t know how I would live without mine.
Thank you for your kind words on my SITS feature day.
it’s a pleasure
That’s a great photo. Dogs really have a way of working themselves right into your heart. Just a bundle of love and joy =)
Thanks, Ladies. You also warm my heart
LOVE that picture! You look so happy!

So True! But our dog does to get to go to work with my husband most days.
This post is hilarious. Don’t recognise the breed of the pup that isn’t an Alsatian, though. Care to enlighten me? Thanks so much for your comment on my blog.
I have no idea what she is. We were told a german shepherd cross. She is just a pavement special. (Very special.
Hi From ICLW #118! I know what you mean about the dogs. When we were on our infertility journey, we were puppy walkers for the Guide Dog Foundation. And having those little puppies to raise and love, go tus through the tough times! Good luck.
We have a son that is challenging to parent. My husband jokes, ‘give me another dog any day!’ In our case, dogs have definitely been easier to train than a human child. As for pooping on the lawn/garden, children can do that too. And dogs can be ‘educated’ (obedience etc)
So true!
This is adorable! Fur babies are fantastic. Mine are sure helping me deal with this mess of infertility. The welcoming committee may be the best part.
I’ve always said my first born children were born via surrogate, a four legged and furry surrogate. They are my children…my furries….my kids….
Love this post!!
