Life has gone to the dogs....

The real truth is life has always been about the dogs...I am told that this is going to change drastically...that well... the dogs will become dogs...and our life will be centered around Dylan...
Because EVERYONE says this...I must surrender that it is probably true...Ardie has always been a dogs dog...loves the outside...rolls in the dirt...and a occasional pat on the head and a hug and he is a happy dog...Solomon is a little more demanding but for the most part pretty easy...once again loves the outside and is a dogs dog...the other truth about Solomon is most likely he won't live long enough to meet Dylan ...then there is Winston ...my perfect little Winston...my life would be lost without my Winston...the real truth is Winston is far from perfect in fact he probably is the most difficult and demanding dog we have...he is moms dog and has no desire to be a dogs dog...he can do no wrong...he is perfection... Winston will be wonderful with Dylan...he loves children...for the most part I think the transition will be fine...he sleeps at least 20 hours a day...he has no desire to go on walks or play outside...he is truly content laying next to you on the couch...the only dilemma is that Winston pretty much goes everywhere with us...to work...to lowes...to the grocery store...to Denver yesterday...once again this should be fine we have a station wagon and plenty of room for both Dylan and Winston...so my concern...is that we have a beautiful park about 4 blocks away that we walk the dogs to the park and around the lake...Winston manages fine in the Winter...but in the Summer it is to hot for him to walk...so he rides in his stroller or his wagon and all works out great...so the dilemma has been that I will want to of course take Dylan to the park... but how will Winston be able to participate in the fun... it might get a little old pulling Winston in his wagon and Dylan would have to ride on my chest on a body carrier...I thought maybe get a stroller for Dylan and have some type of little box attached to it so that Winston could come along...but the reality is that Winston is 50 pounds and trying to modify a jogging stroller built for one baby would not be feasible...then it came to me last night...I have solved our dilemma...I am going to by a inexpensive jogger for 2 babies :)...I found one that will hold up to a 100 pounds...so Winston on one side...Dylan on the other...I am so relieved as will Winston be...I truly am determined to keep Winston as moms fur baby...Collin was concerned about how the jogger might ride if just Dylan was in it...so that's a nice way of him saying he really isn't crazy about the whole double jogger idea...but because he is such a wonderful man and he knows it will make me happy he will let me buy the stroller...because I am such a kind and caring wife I will by a very nice jogger stroller just for him and Dylan since he will use it to actually train...with that I better get to work and sell another house...come on Winston off to the office we go.....

You know you could put Winston in a snugger and push Dylan :-) Great to read of the love you two share with animals. Reminds me of an observation about planting trees: HE WHO PLANTS TREES LOVES OTHERS MORE THAN HIMSELF
