Earnest Parenting: One Lovely Blog

  • Ginger · 2 months ago
    Hi Amy L! I've been reading your blogs for a looong time but this was the first time I clicked to respond (to your one about your puppyhood!) I am so glad I did to see the rest of your website! Before I forget, I have been wanting/not wanting to get a dog for FIVE years -- my son is now 14. I was divorced five years ago and kept thinking it would be too much, but now we're pretty settled in. Wondered what you thought of the timing; I think my son (only child, great kid, a little myopic :) would benefit from parenting something else, as you say, but in five years the pup will be all mine to care for! Would love your comment back! I was one of the original GNMParents blogger, but took a "sabbatical" to write a book which came out this May. I LOVE reading all of the GNMParents blogs -- you all are extremely valuable, creative and just plain fun! Thanks, Amy L! -- Ginger

    Ginger, I'm so glad you took the time to comment! Yes if it were me I'd get the puppy for him. If you do the work to train it well the first year, then it gets much easier from there. (Says the blogger who has a 3 month old puppy for the first time in her life.) Seriously though, by the time it's 5 years old, you should have a great companion. Thanks for the compliments, you've got me blushing. I'd love to know what your book is!

    Rachel, amen to that. I've never read a poo story to top yours!

    Marlene, you're welcome. And thanks for playing along! It's so nice to make friends all around the world through the computer screen. :)

    TC, awww thanks.

    Chrystina, thanks again to you too!

    George and Mary-Lynn, I look forward to seeing what you do with it! You guys are always so much fun to listen to.

    Tom, thanks, that's very sweet. :)

    Hi Amy, congratulations on your award! And thank you so much for including me in the list of people to pass it on to!! You helped put a smile on my face tonight!

    It's always nice to meet other moms with 2 sets of twins! Your boys are older than my kiddos so hopefully I'll learn a thing or two from you, along the way!

    Helene, thanks! And you're welcome!! Smiles are part of my purpose in life.

    If I knew what I was doing I'd teach you something, lol. At the very least I can be the anti-example sometimes. ;)
