The Dog Whisperer

Sometime in February, friends of ours asked if we could dog sit for them. Let me be clear - I am not a dog person. But the girls LOVE anything in the animal kingdom, so we agreed. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to show the kids what having a dog is like. So we were dog owners for two weeks. Our dog friend is Moet. I basically ignored Moet as much as possible, fed him and cleaned up after him. Sean wasn't much more connected to the dog. But the girls were incredible. They were so gentle with Moet and could calm him down just like professionals. They each had their own way of speaking Moet's language. Though they did comment on how hard it is to have a dog, neither of them could be persuaded from dreaming about one day owning their own dog. And dreaming about a dog is okay with me.
