Did I ever mention that Husband and I belong to a little-known religious sect? We believe that dogs are the reincarnated souls of humans, and to gain a cushy spot in the next life, you should pamper your dog as much as possible in this one.

As one of the pillars of our faith, we tithe 10% of our daily meals to Dog. To generate the best karma possible, we now deliver these meals (on my new Pantone dishes, no less — check them out) to him wherever he happens to be reclining.

We also practice attachment parenting with Dog, but alas, not with Aitch. Not enough room in the bed for four of us, and Dog was there first.
