Top 12 Reasons Dogs Are Better than Children

First I’d like to apologize to my three wonderful daughters in the hopes that this post won’t put me out of the running for mother of the year.

Here are my top twelve (trust me there are more) reasons that dogs are better than children:

1. When you’re housebreaking/potty training a dog you can reprimand it for having an accident without his shrink hearing about it years later.
2. Dogs go through the “terrible two’s” in the first few months of life and generally don’t throw tantrums in the middle of department stores. (You know which daughter you are).
3. You can leave a dog at home alone in a crate without someone calling child protective services.
4. Same goes for leaving them in the car as long as it’s not hot out and the windows are open.     
5. You can walk a dog on a leash without someone questioning your parenting skills.
6. You can educate your dog in a class at the park instead of at Harvard.
7. They eat out of one dish.
8. They don’t date.
9. They don’t drive and crash your car.
10. They don’t judge.
11. They love you unconditionally and don’t question your wardrobe choices.
12. They don’t borrow your clothes.
