So I’m late on this one, but…
1) Ginger cookies are great for carsick dogs
2) Learn to groom Brinkley yourself. He’ll love it, you won’t stress, and he’ll forgive you instantly for any blunders you make while learning.

I can see your perspective. I started to feel the same way when I adopted my three kitties. While I do think some of these traits may make me a good parent, I do recognize certain overbearing tendencies that would make things perhaps less then stellar.

I agree, good parental qualities.

(btw, I’d like to hear Brinkley’s perspective on all of this – fair is fair!)

Be careful saying you won’t. Things happen ;-)

But if anything its your maternal instincts kicking in. Makes you no different than any MILF I’ve ever known including my wife. From the sounds of it you would make a awesome mom. Work at home get to spend tons of time with your child. Only issue would social interaction with other kids.

If you don’t know what MILF is google it.

Careful when speaking of procreation. I once told my nephews at a family reunion that his mom and dad stayed home so that they might have some time alone and lo and behold 10 months later a sister appeared. She is exactly six years younger than her brother.

Just wanted to say that I know how ya feel. My family and I have two Hungarian Viszlas and they are pretty high up there on my worry priorities when I am gone for any length of time or they have to go to the vet. Give Brinks a big hug for us readers and, as another commenter suggested, an extra treat too!!

You know, all those things you just listed… they would make you a GOOD parent!

I was pretty much that sort of parent. I learned to hide my freaking out by the time my daughter turned 7 or 8. She just turned 20 yesterday, and I still HAVE TO KNOW WHAT SHE’S DOING AND WITH WHOM!!!! But I am very cool, and do not let anyone (except you and your other readers) know who completely insane I am that my daughter has her own life.

If I can do it, you could, too… if you really wanted to. :)

karma/fate/weirdness – a great read today about you and Brinkley – on the same day the largest sting ever took down dog fighting rings in 5 states. 350 dogs! horrible horrible horrible.

as you can see by name…..i’m not too impressed with our esteemed ex-quarterback’s ventures into the dog world.

but your story is a great one. i have two beautiful amazing siberian huskies and would do anything for them. [recently to the tune of $2100 ACL surgery for one of them as proof o.O]

scratch him behind the ears for me and give him an extra chewy/bone/bacon sandwich.

Um if you do have a kid I am willing to bet by the time the kid is 18 months, you will still like the dog better than the kid.
