dogs rule, babies drool

i know it's a little odd, but i speak the truth. should i be concerned that i "sqeeee!!!" when i see the pups, and not to much with the babies? i think i am missing that particular mama gene. maybe the switch will flip over in a couple of months?

case in point: i was walking from the subway today (and, consquently, i think that i need to be officially DONE carrying my bag up the subway steps...i believe the babe has already descended into the birth canal as a result of today's efforts.) coming towards me was a dad, a bored looking baby covered in one of those plastic rain stroller covers, and...the CUTEST little shi tzu! this little doogie howser md was seriously prancing through the puddles, hopping back and forth, side to side, and wearing the most adorable striped sweater to protect him from the cold. i smiled and said, "how cute!"....and i'm certain the dad thought i was talking about, you know, the actual baby.

but i wasn't. and for that, i do not feel badly. i speak the truth.
