Oh yes, this all sounds very familiar and made me smile.
Our puppy is even more intense than when we had our first baby. Perhaps because puppyhood lasts a shorter time than toddlers.
The grandchildren's nappy bags are now priority for the dog, I go out in the morning before using hair straighteners and in a muddy jacket because it's likely to get muddier.
But it's all worth it to see my boy race through the long, wet grass on a good recall and gaze at me with his amber eyes waiting for his treat.
