Temple Of The Dog - 12 Ways My Dog Is A Jerk (Just Like My Kids)

It's been almost five months since our puppy entered our lives, and for the most part it's been amazing.  Ted, Farmer Ted, Ted Theodore Logan Esquire, has fit in quite well, and the kids love him (but more on that in another post). He's still a puppy and he gets into mischief.  He has an expressive face that shows you what he's feeling about just about everything.  Chris and I both imagine him (and pretend) he's talking back to us in the voice of Shorsey from Letterkenny on a regular basis. He has quite a smart mouth!

While having a dog is by no means the same as having kids, I am certainly appreciative and marvel at the similar ways that all of the little creatures in my family are complete jerks, whether it's putting us in awkward situations, destroying stuff, or causing general mayhem (another good dog name).
