Some people have grandchildren, others have grandpuppies.
"For years, we didn't have any grandchildren and my daughter's dog, Mr. Moose, was all we had," said 63-year-old Eileen Williams of the San Francisco Bay area.
I tell my mom that she has 3 grandsons and a granddaughter all the time (my sister has 2 sons and a daugher). She has always said that while she loves PC, he's not her grandson and that I need to have a human child to know what she means.
Now that I'm pregnant, she's coming around to the idea that PC will always be her furry grandson! I make her a calendar every year for Christmas of all the grandkids, and PC is on quite a few months! I treat him like my gigantic baby and expect the same from her. I'm glad she's finally coming around to it! She even brought him a toy when she came to visit and when she sent me a package, there were some treats for him as well. Who could deny that beautiful Bulldog face?
I see nothing wrong with that! My mom and stepdad proudly talk about their 2 grandoggers & 2 grandogs! Until they get human grandchildren (if), they live by the same concepts- come spoil the grandbabies, then leave them with their parents!
My MIL is crazy about her Grand-dog . I think she is happier to she him than she is us when we go and visit. She soils him rotten, she swears that the dog can count. Our dog won't consider leaving until he has gotten 3 treats and of course Grandma always comes through with 3 treats of some sort .
I have to laugh at this post as we are in this boat with no grandkids but 2 very spoiled and loved granddogs, one a Boxer and one a rescue dog. They come to stay with us when our kids are out of town and must come to all the bbq's.
