My favorite examples of late:
Sling the baby....
Bring the baby to work....
(X's teacher's 'baby' & boyfriend came to pick her up after work)
Backpack the baby...
Carry the baby....
(Why not walk around with a cat on your shoulder?!)
In the 'while in Rome' spirirt, we've been doing a bit of our own babying -
(Swaddling & dressing up the baby)
While the pet obsession seemed funny - our fur balls offer unlimted love & enthusiasm and never complain about their dinner. SF'ans might be onto something
Here's to the love of the pets & if you can't beat em, join em!
