Man's Best Friend

Reason To Have Kids #31:  You'll never have to feed the dog again.

Pavlov's dogs had their bells.  Our dog has the plastic, dishwasher-safe, high-chair tray.  Every time that tray clicks in to place, she comes running, mouth salivating, ready to share some of the baby's food.

One of the sad truths that you learn growing up is that your best friend might not consider you his or her best friend.  This applies to dogs as well.
