Human Puppies Are Similar to Canine Puppies

We were at a place with a lazy river on Saturday, and there were kids there, and the kids were at it. Just having a great time. The possibilities for fun a lazy river affords a child are endless, and, as we discovered, most of these rely upon complete and total disregard for the personal space of strangers. Some guy on an innertube’s in your way? Swim under him. Some lady on an innertube’s in your way? Push past her. More innertubes are bearing down on you while you try to full-nelson your brother and pull him under the water? Do not let them distract you from the task at hand.

This, of course, reminded us of our puppy, Fargo.

So, similarities between kids and pups:

  • The personal space thing, by which I mean complete disregard for that of others.
  • Poor volume calibration.
  • Weird stuff happening when it comes to going to the bathroom.
  • Insistent upon the things they want.
  • Not always good at telling you what they want.
  • Not always good at knowing what they want.
  • Insistent upon the things they want, nonetheless.
  • Easily distracted.
  • Will die if left to own devices for too long.
  • Surprisingly smart.
  • Surprisingly dumb.
  • Strong commitment to having fun.
  • Strong ability to have fun.
  • Fun.
  • Look deceptively docile in pictures.
  • Sweet/cute/kind at times.
  • Utterly exhausting terrors at times.
  • In need of physical activity.

Yes, there are differences, I’m not going to be the guy that equates kids and dogs.

But.

They’ve got a lot in common.
