The combo of kids and dogs seems to be everywhere I turn lately. Accordingly, they provide the inspiration for today’s post.
- Today’s punny pet name: Furry Cruise.
- Pop quiz, hotshot: can you tell the difference between dog toys and baby toys? Give it a try – I’ll wait.
- Puppies are just baby dogs (or babies are just human puppies… take your pick). Thus, this video of Marshmellow the white pug puppy (courtesy of The Dog Files) is totally in keeping with the theme. It’s just two minutes of utter cuteness.
- A boy and his dog… epically adorable.
- Lots of baby animals in the news lately: lion cubs, komodo dragon hatchlings, and snow leopard cubs have made headlines, just to name a few. (For breaking news about adorable baby zoo animals, I recommend you check out ZooBorns.)
If you don’t smile while watching the baby and dog below, I’m concerned for your emotional well-being:
(Via The Dog Files – it’s a gold mine. While there, check out this baby & hungry dog, a dog teaching a baby to high five, and a dog giving a baby crawling lessons.)
Dogs and babies go together like peas and carrots, right? So… get that kid a pet! If nothing else, it’s something to consider if you have a child. Beyond the cute factor, kids with dogs are more active and might even have less trouble with allergies when they get older. As a kid who grew up with pets galore, let me tell you – having a house full of furry playmates is the best.
In any event, I have a feeling that many of the readers of this blog would have the opposite problem – how to introduce a baby to a house that’s already accustomed to the pitter patter of furry feet. You’re in luck! Fido Friendly has some great tips here and here. Want to learn more? Check out Dogs&Storks, a program that is all about creating harmony between your furry and non-furry offspring.

*Disclaimer: despite the focus of this post, the title of this blog still controls. I just want more puppies. Happy weekend!
I agree that all children should have a dog, but in some situations allergies in families play a huge part.
I definitely agree! Though I don't discriminate against non-furry pets either. I had two turtles growing up and I adored them. 🙂
