I think I'm FINALLY starting to get it!!! I know it's not really the same thing.... but Husband and I got a puppy a couple weeks ago. Neither of us has had a puppy before. Of course, to me, everything she does warrants front page headlines ("ooooh, look how her ears bounce when she trots", "awwwww, look how sweet she is when she sleeps!", "what a good poops! look everyone, she pooped!!!"). I know it's probably not quite the deep, profound feeling that a mother gets when she looks at her child, but for the first time, I think I understand why you simply cannot shut up new mothers.

HA ha, you are funny. You see? It's the crack of being able to recite your baby's firsts. Is poop suddenly cute? If so, you can officially become one of those vaguely odd women who refer to themselves in the third person as "Mommy" when talking to their dogs. As is, "Is Mommy's wittle Oopsum-poopsum, hunng-wee?"
I'm gonna make a leap here, MIQ, because I don't know your background yet, but . . . my dad always says that you can tell when couple is about ready to have kids -- because they start collecting dogs.
He's rarely wrong on this point, I've noticed.
Poop stories are always welcome among parents, I think -- poop away!
You're right MT - it's totally like crack (well, I'm saying this even though I don't have first hand crack experience).... yesterday she drank from the big dogs water bowl (no easy feat since it's sitting on a crate almost 2 feet off the ground) and this morning she did the outside stairs! I'm sorry, but if I don't tell somebody I could actually EXPLODE.
Foolery - interesting correlation and thanks for the poop support!
I'm *sniffle, sniffle* SOOOO PROUUUUUUDDD! -sob- And my new little niece is so cute! You do make a terrific new mommy too. Just wait until you have to take her to the bus stop in your pj's. Oh. Wait. That part probably won't happen. But feel free to share your super milestone stories here. We don't discriminate on the basis of sex, color, creed, religion, national origin or number of legs. :-)
