Looking back, I wish I had let my kids imprint on the dog first. That way the dog would know what it’s like to be followed everywhere, and the kids might have picked up some better habits.
I contend that bathing themselves like a dog does would hurt them socially…
It’s funny… we hatched some chicks in an incubator when I lived on the farm; and, my mother was the first living thing they saw… and they did follow her around the yard.
I would have put the cone over their heads to prevent the licking of course.
I had a duckling when I was six or so that followed me around the neighborhood, back when parents didn’t worry about kids getting abducted. Or now that I think of it, maybe they were just had a better plan than I did.

Ok, they sound like something I would say, so great tips. PS – they can still play when their asleep, super glue the controller to their hand š

I remember. My mom kicked us out after breakfast; let us in for lunch and kicked us out until supper. Kind of like The Little Rascals…

If Iām honest, I have to say I prefer the original format to the videos, not that anyone asked.

No. I mean the video-less format.

Oh! No, I’m not changing formats. I just couldn’t come up with a tenth item for the one I’m working on.

I’ve still got my son at home. He’s six foot four inches, now. I don’t pat either end…
