I mean, I think I'm a pretty bad dogmom all the time. I don't take Zero to the park enough, or take him on enough walks or give him enough raw steak. Whatever. ButI don't think I ever COULD do enough of those things. At least not as far as he's concerned. And you should totally make your own pickled carrots. I did, and they are AWESOME. How to? Equal parts vinegar and water, couple tablespoons pickling spices, couple cloves of garlic, some sort of chili pepper sliced in half, pinch of sugar. Bring to simmer. (If you want them HOT, use a hot pepper and simmer the whole time you're cutting carrots.) Allow vinegar mixture to cool a little, so that the liquid isn't so hot it will break your jars. Then put cut carrots into jars and pour liquid over them. Delicious. Isn’t part of being a mom thinking that you’re no good at it? I mean, I think I’m a pretty bad dogmom all the time.

You spend quality time with your Boogedy. He is smart as a whip from all that talking you do to him. You've also encouraged all his talking making it very fun for his Aunt Jeaka and Nana to take him home. Get over the guilt that's just a waste of time. All he's gonna remember of this time is how you smell. On a side note, I really enjoyed having Boy on Thursday. I put him down for a name and his sweet baby smell put me right to sleep with him.
