Love you dawg!

Before I had Dylan, I think I really thought that I already had two kids of my own that I gave birth to...my dogs Gucci and Kobee. I mean, it was pretty intense...I didn't like go places without them, dressed them up for holidays, cooked them food almost every day, they slept with us, I'd bring them back souvenirs from trips, I showed off pictures of them to people every place I went, etc... When I was pregnant, I even remember "joking" around and asking Geno, my mom, and Jen if I would be able to love my baby as much as I loved my dogs. Hahaha I'd laugh it off like I wasn't too serious, and then ask myself later "will I?!" Well, of course now that Dylan is here I can't believe I even wondered this since there is no comparison in how much more I love and adore Dylan! To be honest, sometimes I even feel bad now on how much i sometimes don't pay attention to them or neglect them or totally lose my patience with them. We almost had to call a rescue team one time when it looked like Kobee was about to jump to his death from the couch when he was hanging  half his body awkwardly off the top of the couch while staring at us playing with Dylan! He has tried this a few times.  At least Gucci is the opposite; she is over protective of him, tries to constantly be near him and I even think she might be confused and thinks he is her son! I don't know if it was that delirious sleep-deprived state you're in that first week after you're home from the hospital, but I swear she tried to soothe and feed him once! :)

I know this will change soon once Dylan is finished teething and once he starts to chase after them and play around with them in the backyard. They will be the best of friends, I already feel it! Dylan is obsessed with staring at them, laughs at them, and tries to reach out to pet and hug them. I'm very lucky to have two little buddies for Dylan that I completely trust around him. Now I find myself asking a different question...how will I be able to love my next baby as much as I love Dylan!?
