oh my yes!
My boys are almost just like having kids. well I dont have kids, but the only difference I see is that I can leave them home alone for awhile whereas you can't do that with a child. Thats about it. I take them when I can, I have to make sure I have a diaper bag with all their stuff. I need a sitter when I go away even for a night. You feed them and give them water, treats, hold them when they are scared, crying, overexcited, tell them to calm down, potty train them, play with them, bathe them, medicate them (frontline and heartguard), brush their hair, brush their teeth, one of mine even has to wear a diaper when we go to someone else's house! They have clothes, lifejackets, carriers, car seats, they teethe, they cry, take them to the doctors (vets) when they are sick, walk them everyday, new harnesses and leashes when they chew through them, wash their faces after they eat, protect them, scold them and cuddle them! Yup, almost like a kid!
