To think that dogs actually make great baby sitters.

Yep - thats right - dogs!!!! Well, mine does at least for my DD (aged 2.5).

I have been laid up with what i can only assume is the lovely Norovirus, puke vomit shite, bug and yesterday more or less couldn't move from the sofa. My DD1 came round to get DD2s dinner and played with her for a bit, but the rest of the day, my darling little terrier cross has sat with DD and played with her and generally kept her happy and occupied.

I'm thinking of hiring out his services - what do you think? £5 per hour per child?

Thank you. I will give it some thought then.

LEM - what a nice AIBU thread

LEM - I agree with Mercy. I usually steer clear of the AIBU threads, but this is a lovely one. So sorry about your rottie. I know that they're not for everyone, but I love them both to bits, and would recommend the breed to anyone prepared to put the necessary work in.

thanks guys, never really thought of it like that, just wanted to share how great my dog is [proud]
