Doggie Depreciation
This post has been in my saved drafts for 5 months…so I’ll just throw it out there as is…
I’ve been trying to come up with a term that actually describes what happens with your Dog once you add a child to your household. More accurately, what happens to your feelings for your Dog once your child is born and the dog becomes pure 100% nuisance (if any of Cleo’s friends are reading this I sincerely apologize, please don’t tell Cleo) (Cleo, if you are reading this, we love you, just get off my couch once in a while when I want to sit down).
Anyway, that term is:
Doggie Depreciation ™
Actually, I will go farther and say that dogs have negative amortization once said child is born. The initial depreciation is steep and swift, flattening out after 12 months.
I know a few people who will back me up on this concept, and many more who will think I’m a narcissistic dog hater.
Really, I’m not, I swear.
