Good Parenting

 We all try to be good parents.  It's our first time, so we read and have a little instinct too, hopefully.  We've taken them to doc appointments, classes and even googled diet recommendations.  We try.  We communicate to learn each other.  We fuss with their potty habits, their mental needs and yes, their quirks.  We learn as we go.  We are thrilled to be a protector to them.  We try to keep them safe from cars. I once threw myself into the driveway/ street to keep the youngin' from running into a Elote truck.  I've done some stuff I tell you.  Seatbelts, air temperature controls and even music (see playlist).  We are consistent in our teachings.  We try.

Well this morning, we were served a curve ball.  A 100mph+ Ohtani pitch.  Right down the pipe.  I woke up a few minutes late and had heard our Canine King Max sort of pacing. Yes, our dog. I also heard a little tiny whimper from him, which meant..."hurry up please, it's my breakfast time."  I finally rise from our extra chilly master* bedroom and head to the kitchen.  Good morning Pookie Bear, I say.  How are ya, Big boy?  I have a few terms of endearments and slightly annoying high voices for him in the morning (again...routine). OH What in the world?!!!  I see Max...aka Biggie just zenfully scarfing down on some tortillas.  A new and sealed bag of low carb Missions.  I reach down to the floor as quickly as I could (I hadn't stretched yet) and whisked them out of his precious snout. I notice the he went in from the side versus open the ziplock properly.  A large chunk of plastic was M.I.A, nowhere to be found and I grabbed what felt like two pita sandwiches from his lips.  Max! Give me that!!

I go to computer to research if inhaling six low carb tortillas are dangerous for a dog and yes, he is okay with gluten.  It says, not too bad...watch for bloating, rub his tummy etc.  It gave me things to watch out for.

Last week, I was googling about banana peels...

We will reduce his calorie intake for the remaining day and keep and eye on him.

Long story short, he is doing well. He has a very extra innocent aura about him now...today. I just can't believe he'd go for that.  I mean I know it's taco Tuesday and all but...
