Trouble TTC

Awww (child mentioned)

I went for a walk with my dog this morning (a Jack Russell terrier named Jasmine - pic attached in case anyone loved dog pics as much as I do) in the park. A little girl was there on her tricycle with her dad ....got off, came up to me and very shyly asked if she could pet my dog. I said of course. She pet Jasmine and she was so happy! She got all submissive, wagged her tail and licked the girl's hand. The girl giggled, said thank you and then walked away. Aww ....little girls break my heart.

Jasmine loves kids. She has always been so good with them ever since she was a puppy! She looked all sad when the little girl walked away LOL. I swear she looked at me as if to say "Mom, can we get one of those in our family?" ;) Working on it sweet girl .....I'm working on it.

  • Aww!  My dogs love kids too.  They're big dogs, but they're very gentle with kids.  We've always said we can't wait to have kids to see what our dogs too.  We're pretty sure that the lab mix (which is the more serious dog), will never leave the kids side.  Lol

  • Aww! The little neighborhood girls are obsessed with our dog too! He is a boxer and he runs out the front door and they all squeal his name and he goes running over there and they smother him with petting and kissing and all start running around the yard so he chases them :)
    They all have cats so they adore him and vice versa. 

    I can't wait to see my fur baby with my real baby one day :) It makes me tear up thinking about but I sometimes ask my husband "do you think he will still be around so our kids know him and love him like we do?" UGH I'm starting to cry thinking of it :(
