In common

Yesterday one of my oldest and dearest friends and I were catching up on the phone, he is still living the bachelor life out in LA where my wife and I met and lived for the first year of our marriage. It was great to hear from him and vicariously enjoy some of his exploits, and as the conversation was coming to a close I told him to check out my blog, but then realized he might not really get it considering it's pretty much about staying home with the kids and he is still enjoying the bachelor life. Then while still on the phone he walked into his house to find one of his two shitzus had peed and pooped on his kitchen floor, which sparked a whole new common thread to the conversation. We realized that raising small children and dogs are really not all that different because they're both SEMI potty trained and neither really listen to you or your commands!
