what will I do with my dogs when my wife has the baby.

[aquaman]

I guess I could just hang out at the house with them, drink a few beers and just chill. But I guess I should be there for my firstborn. What do you think?

1. Dogs Live 14 Years; Babies 70+ - Stay With the Dogs

Dogs are cuter, anyway.

[aquaman]

2. Ha,

tell that to my wife as she is blaming me for getting her pregnant and causing all the pain during delivery.

[REP]

3. She's Got A Point

Although there are many forms of birth control she could've used ... unless she wanted a baby - then she has only herself to blame.

[aquaman]

4. We wanted the baby.......

Tried for three years and finally got it right.

5. She obviously wasn't prepared for the pain and discomfort

that comes with expecting a baby. Her body's waterlogged; her hormones are a bit out of kilter; and she's just taking it out on you because you're there. Don't take it personally; she should be back to her old self shortly after she has the child.

[aquaman]

6. Oh I agree...

She is over eight months pregnant and has not been mean to me yet. I have a friend at work that tells me that while she is physically giving birth to our child that she will call me every name in the book. I told him that my wife is not like that, we bet 100 dollars. The bet on my end was that she would not curse me out, his bet was watch out for the "F" bomb. We shall see.

7. They won't be your dogs for long.

When that little firstborn starts walking and talking, you've lost "your" dogs unless their old and cranky. Most dogs are suckers for a child especially if you've taught the child not to poke them in the eye or pull their ears.

10. We have a young and middle age dog.......

Our Shih Tzu is 6, our lab and shepard mix is one. The Shih Tzu is a grumpy little man, the lab mix is the sweetest dog I have ever had.

14. 20 bucks says the lab mix is the baby's slave this time next year.

Watch and wonder at the sheer weirdness of life.

8. Is she having the baby in a hospital?

She could always get a midwife and deliver at home. The dogs would probably like to greet the new family member! :D

[aquaman]

12. We live in the boonies.....

So, if the baby was born in the home would mean that I deliver him, I don't think that I am ready for that.

9. Take 'em with you

Aminals know more about birthin' babies than humans do. They do it without help, and they squirt out whole bunches at once.

They must think humans are a buncha wimps for coughin' up just one.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. And dog spittle has anti-bacterial properties

Perfect first baby bath!

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. And they could chomp the cord in half

Hey, we may be on to somethin' here! :woohoo:

[Nicole]

11. Be there for the birth

Or you could be hanging with the dogs A LOT!

[aquaman]

13. I would not miss it for the world......

I love my wife and my soon to be newborn child more than anything in the world. I will have to arrange a babysitter for the dogs.

[amitten]

17. Kill them.

Just kidding. I had a sickening yuppie-type neighbor once who had two cute little puppies. The week after her first kid was born, I noticed the puppies were gone.

I asked the husband about them. "Oh," he says, "We knew we'd have to put them down when the baby came." They were little powderpuffs--totally harmless. People suck. :cry:

[BlueIris]

18. That's the most disgusting thing I've ever read. Not your post, what

your neighbor did. INSANE.

[amitten]

19. Yeah. They were like this perfect-perfect conservative couple.

White picket fence. SUV. Split-level in the suburbs. Tupperware parties.

And two dead puppies. :patriot:
