Your post is cute! I remember those days but they are a long way away for me since mine are 6 yrs old. I have 3, 4 month old kittens though and they are constantly getting into something or tearing through the house so Im used to the babies and their ways also

Joys-
both of my babies laying with me watching TV
both of my babies sleeping with me in bed at night
the way they play and already seem to love each other
watching to see which 'bunny' can jump higher.....(My dogs think they are rabbits I swear)
the way Jett learns things from his older sister Bella
the way they both snuggle up to me if they are scared or worried
the way they both bark if something scares them, Jetts bark is just so little and cute!
when I do manage to take them both out into public, the comments from others on how cute and adorable my babies are!!!!!!

**there are sooooooo many I could write 4 or 5 pages LOL**

Frustrations
Bella loves to sit on her baby brother, causing him to squeak his disapproval, am always worried that she might hurt him. She is 4.2 pounds and he is 1.8 pounds. He holds his own though. :)

Worried that any child that comes over to the house might, accidentally hurt one of the babies!!!! (Trying to hide the babies from the children is no fun either.)

Hates the fact that on my own I right now can only take one baby with me at a time. So most often I leave them both home, so they can have company.

Jett is the same color and size as my slippers, have almost stepped on him not seeing him, and my slippers are his favorite place to lay. :)

Reesie found his voice early, lol. :p

That reminded me of when Kacee was a puppy. She used to go to sleep and use my foot as a pillow, when I'd be at the kitchen counter doing something.:p

Joys
When she stands on my chest and we have the "I can out stare you" contest....too cute.
ALL of her sweet little kisses.
That I am her favorite person.
How she velcros herself to me when I am sitting in my recliner.
Her funny big dog attitude.
She always eats out of her big sisters food bowl and saves hers for later.
How she insist that I give her attention on her time clock....lol.
How she stretches and looks so content when I give her her nightly massage.
The little 'oinky' noises she makes when she is content and just 'verbalizing'. Lol


Frustrations
Bringing in presents from outside to mommy. She will bring in mulch, sticks, beetles...basically anything she can find to gift me with. During this snow storm she brought me a huge icicle. Lol

Jasmine is 2 yrs old, but she will always be my little puppy.

Lolllll bringing presents from outside to Mommy is hilarious!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!

I have a 20 week old baby boy Harley :D

JOYS ~

He is a smart cookie...knows most of his commands, sit, come, go potty, stay, is still work in progress.
Plays with his toys
plays by himself
Lets me know when he has to go outside to potty now.
Starting to play fetch now.
he is the cutest puppy ever
Knows how to use the steps now for getting on and off the bed and sofa
he has spent the last 3 nights sleeping with us "no accidents"
and he smells soooooooo good and the puppy kisses :p

FRUSTRATIONS ~

He is all to happy to get into a barting match with his big sister Bella :eek:
won't stay out of Bella's face...he just bounces right on her "P's her right off"
all in both my kitties faces, he just loves them so much...he gets more excited to see them than me :rolleyes:
will sherd paper in a matter of sec.
prays on the kitties food...hoping they will drop a kibble.
kills his toys, will rip the stuffing right out of them :mad:
little stinker :D

but I love him....wouldn't change a thing about him, well maybe a few :rolleyes: boy that felt good to get off my chest ;):) l

Thanks for starting this thread :)

oopsy...Barking LOL

Reesie does OINKY noises too!!! They are so stinkin cute!! He makes this pouty oinky noise to tell me he is sad. Lol....I LOVE HIM!!! This morning he got up at 5:40 (instead of 5am YAY!!) and laid across my NECK and fell ASLEEP!!!! Omg...he loves to snuggle at night which makes so much sense since he snuggled with his littermates for so long before coming home to me. Then after my neck he moved and laid across my chest and I could tell he wanted to be by my heartbeat!! HE IS SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!

Frustration yesterday--little bugger pooped in the den...LOL. Shhhhh!! My husband doesn't know, I quick cleaned it up!!!

*sigh* The puppy days.... sometimes they seem like sooo long ago even tho Jackson is only 2! They really go by so fast. I guess the main thing I remember is being on such a strict schedule. It was so different for me, being 18 and just being in community college and being used to sleeping in and staying up super late. It was very odd for me being dead tired by 8pm because a lil' pup had kept me busy all day!! Then getting up at 4am to let him out, luckily he stopped waking up in the middle of the night after only about 2 weeks of having them. Luckily, he was always a pretty good pup but either way, it's a lot of work! And I'm not sure I miss it.... LOL!!! I really like my go to sleep at 11pm and wake up at 10am dog ;)

Ha!!! Brit...Snick is the same...could sleeeeeeep until 10, even 11am sometimes. You're right girl, it is HARD work, forgot how hard sometimes!!!! I can't complain, Reesie is a dream puppy, he is 15 weeks and he does things that Snick didn't do until Snick was about 8 months!!! So different, I think Snick being there to teach him things helps too. I am tired at 9pm though everyday including weekends. But this weekend we made progress and Reesie is staying up until 10 now and sleeping in until about 6....so early, but after he eats, pees/poops, he does go back to bed until 9-10am on the weekends. He is pretty stinkin awesome. SO different getting a well-bred pup than my puppymill Snick. I LOVE having 2!!!! Snick's Sep Anxiety is almost gone!!!! Amazing!!

XOXO-

Awwwww!! My Bella so far is showing to be the 'smarter' dog. She knew MANY commands by Jetts age, actually by 10 weeks I think! Jett is just starting to get the hang of sit, at 15 1/2 weeks!! But he is the lover and so dang well behaved, only one incident of chewing up a cord of my sons video game controller, NOT ONE other issue at all! I couldn't iamgine life without either of them ALREADY!!! I have only had Jett 2 weeks, but seems like, he has been a part of our family for years!!!

I love having two too!!!!! My hubby may have a coronary, but I am thinking there will be 3 in our future. MUCH later future though......at least a year. ROTFL!! :D

lmbo!!!! My girls are both 2 and over.....I loved them so much when they were puppies...but I'm in NO HURRY to go back there anytime soon!!! :D

enjoying this thread...thanks everyone for sharing!:)
