An Update on Comang

Four months ago, J and I made the difficult decision to give away Comang.
If you can recall, I had found a very nice family to take him in and give him a loving home. I am happy to say that they have continued to send me updates and pictures, and still thank us profusely for choosing them to be his new family.

From the many emails and texts I have received, it is apparent that they absolutely adore Comang. With three boys in the house, I know that he is getting all the attention he deserves (and perhaps even…

Goodbye, Comang

This is one of the most difficult posts I have ever written…
After much consideration and thought, we have decided to give away Comang, our beloved shih-tzu.
When I first became pregnant with Claire, I swore to myself that I would never become “one of those people” that give away their dogs after having children. I consider dogs — all pets, actually — part of one’s family and I still consider Comang to be J and my first child.

Since Claire and BebeDeux will only be 13 months apart in age, we have been hoping that they will learn to share at an early age without much intervention from us. But recent events…

Sleeping Dog

I guess today is a doggy post day!

I have to say that I completely sympathize with the dog’s owner…and I’m sure I will empathize even more after BebeDeux is born.
(Comang feels the same way too. When Claire is being especially loud or obnoxious, he will let out a big sigh and go into our room — where it’s dark and quieter — to take a nap.)

Eye Boogers on Our Walls!

Meet Comang.
An old picture of our shih-tzu, before (like my husband likes to say)his “manhood was taken away”
He may never pee or poop in the house. But he likes to leave his mark in other ways.
How? By smearing his eye boogers all over our walls and moldings.
I present to you exhibits A and B for your consideration:

We first discovered these markings a few months after we adopted him two years ago. It’s a pretty smart move if you think about it — why use his clumsy and sharp-nail-filled paws to remove his eye boogers,…
