And *I* am Little Husband!
About Me
- Femme au Foyer
- Austin, TX, United States
- Once upon a time I traveled the country as a sales engineer for a high-tech company. In addition, I somehow skated my way into acceptance on a roller derby team. Then I got laid off, became pregnant and it was as if my former life never was. Now I'm just another pregnant housewife with a young baby. Just. Ha.

hahahaha!! where did you get a doggie stroller? you are so cute. come on' TGD!!! let her get another pup!
Kay,
I got it for $16 on Ebay. Of course, that was before I paid the $36 to have it shipped. It was the only stroller large enough to fit our two littlest dogs. Now I can take them on the three mile walks with our lab. When they poop out, I simply pop them in the stroller! As you can see, they love it.
It's funny, though. The stroller is cheap (no!) and weighs very little. The other day when we started out on our walk, all the dogs started running and I had to run (and stumble) to keep up with and get them under control. Meanwhile, the stroller has become airborn and is flying behind me like a kite. We live on a busy street and all I can think is, "Holy crap--what if someone thinks I have a BABY in this stroller!?!?"
Listen to Husband! You know how much of an animal person I am, particularly dogs. However, kids change things a bit.
Merlin (have you met Merlin?) is a wonderful doggie. But, I am constantly tripping over him. He has taken to peeing in the house - so we installed an automatic doggie door. Automatic--so the cats don't get out. Except, one does get out and yells which scares the neighbor's daughter. So, in the middle of the night I have to trapse out into the yard to round him up and bring him in. But, I digress. Back to Merlin. He gets into the trash (including dirty diapers which apparently canines find pretty tasty). The list goes on and on. All of these things were much easier to deal with before we had kids.
And then there's the guilt. You'll be replacing the doggie stroller with a baby stroller! I took Merlin and Wera for walks when it was just Makena and me. We lost Wera and added Kessler, and it's still doable, though tough to consider at times. But, I couldn't imagine doing it with 4 dogs!!!
Then again.. you are a stud with superhuman mental and physical capacities, not to mention the resourefulness of MacGuyver! I have a mental image of you out with 3 kids and 4 dogs, while rollerblading--backward. Come to think of it, I had a difficult time stopping to tie my shoe while walking 1 dog! Maybe you'd be wise not to heed my advice! :)
M2K2,
Wait--you mean I can't use my dog stroller for the kids?
I used to rollerblade with my two little dogs (I learned that by watching The Dog Whisperer). I wouldn't dare do that with a lab, though!
BTW - I *thought* you were M2K2, but I was never really sure and kept meaning to ask you. It wasn't until you mentioned Wera that I knew...
OMG, i can totally see you flying down the street with dogs in the lead pulling you by one arm, and stroller bringing up the rear semi-controlled by your other arm. hysterical mental image!
blog something soon or you're gonna be in BIG BIG trouble!
(meaning, i won't let you have any biscuits at Cisco!)
it's been more than a week since you've blogged. i know you're studying, but you gotta give your audience SOMEthing! get busy writing! :)
I love dogs. Everyone should have at least three!
And I love the way you think. We need at least three more of you reading my blog! ;)
