My friend threw a tidbit of information my way “did you know that if you want to sl...

“Mommy can I have a dog?” Every parent is confronted with this question at some point in time, I got hit with it about 3 months ago. “No” was my stern reply (parenting tip 101: you have to be stern with your kid, if they sniff out any sign of weakness, they will break you!). “Why not?” my son, Everett retorted... “Because, because, they are gross little animals that do gross things” (I’ll spare you the details).
