Human v. Dog

Ok...I havn't posted in ten years.  Sue me.  School started and I've been busy.  Really busy.  What is the deal with school getting harder the closer you get to getting out?  It's like they WANT  you to fail.  I'm so close I can taste it, and they are REALLY pushing me!  Ug!
Anyways, guess what?  Kate got out of jail!  Last weekend to be exact.  I would take some pictures and post them, but my camera died.  Grr. 
Kate is an absolute angel.  She sleeps with me every night.  She lays her head on my pillow and I put the cover over her and wrap my arms around her and it's like having a little furry body to snuggle with.  Isn't that the best?  She hasn't pottied in the house ONE time folks.  I absolutely love her to pieces and I can't imagine why anyone could do that to her.  Can you?  People are mean.  I think about it every single day.
The poodles are really getting along with her.  I knew they would.  She has even started trying to play with Mikey...not Jordan, only Mikey.  He kinda looks at her like she is crazy...I don't think he knows how to play with any other dog except his sister.  But he will learn.
And another thing that is on my mind...human babys v. dog babys.  What is your opinion on this?  I'm about to tell you what my opinion is about it, in case you were worried.  Here it goes...
I know that we as humans are more valuable to God than a dog.  I know that when you have a baby, you are filled with an immense love that you never experience unless you HAVE a baby...I don't have to have a baby to know this and/or understand it.  What gets me is why do so many people have a baby and all of a sudden the dogs are kicked to the curb?  Are your dogs THAT much trouble?  Mine aren't.  They go pee and poop outside, I feed them once a day.  Once a month I give them heartworm and flea and tick preventitive, and once a year they go to the vet and have a check up.  They are obviously worth it to me.  I know that everybody is different, we all have different ways of going about things and of living our life.  But if I hear one more person tell me that basically my dogs won't mean crap to me once I have REAL kids, I think I'll scream.  Just because YOU don't have enough room in  your heart to love your dogs AND your kids, doesn't mean that I won't.  I have sooo many friends that have a baby and get rid of their dog, and I'm not talking about illness related (ie your kid is allergic to your dog, because that's a different story).  That's fine if that is the choice they make.  But I also have lots and lots and lots of friends that have five dogs and have their first child, and they do perfectly fine.  I will ALWAYS love my child and take care of my child, and I will ALWAYS love my dogs and take care of them as well.  We will be one big happy family.  It make take some getting used to, but it would never occur to me to get rid of one baby to make room for another.  Just sayin :)
