What will you do?...

A commonly asked question these days is- What will you do with Charger when the baby comes? Yep, it's true, our dog thinks he's a person! And because he thinks he is a person, it's almost like we are having our second child not our first. It's all our fault, we admit it. It probably started the night we first got him when we thought it would be cute and funny to drive through Taco Bell in celebration (get it? he's a chihuahua). The drive through employee fell in love at the site of our little mascot and offered some meat for him. That was his first people food and it was all over from there.
The first night was much like Lady and the Tramp. We were back and forth from the laundry room all night long. Our friends assured us that would stop after a few nights but apparently we no will power because Charger sleeps with us.

When we take him places, (yes, we take him around town with us), he rides on our shoulders. We wouldn't want him to miss out on any of the scenery.

I vowed not to be the girl with the dog in the purse, but as you probably already know or can guess, I have the purse and he happily travels in it.
He goes with us on vacation, to the grocery store (sometimes), to the mall, to run errands, and he has even been in a few restaurants undetected thanks to the dog bag. I know, don't judge.
He has a great personality and is all in all a pretty easy pet despite how high maintenance I make him out to be, but you can understand why these habits might make it hard to introduce a baby into the picture.
So, for the last half of my pregnancy we are going to try our best to undo the horrible parenting we did with Charger for the first year and a half of his life. We will see how it goes.... wish us luck!
