From dog mom to human mom

We're expecting our 3rd child.  The first 2 have fur covered bodies and walk on 4 legs.  I didn't give birth to them, but I'm thankful for their mother's who did. I've been their mommy since they were babies.  We've been doing this parent thing for years! For example, we've:
  • Spent restless nights trying to kennel train (and failing early with Morzy, only completing the task with her as an adult dog),
  • Cleaned up countless accidents-some potty related and some destruction
  • Dealt with dog versions of temper tantrums, and behavioral issues
  • Faced both emergency (seizures, broken claws, lacerations) and non-emergency health concerns (routine vet visits, vaccinations, teeth cleaning/extractions, spay/neuter)
  • Of course cared for them daily, i.e. feeding routines, potty breaks/training, and of course loved, snuggled and played with them.
  • ...and so much more with these 2. crazy kids
They have given me confidence (over 11 years) in my abilities to mother a human child and that their daddy and I have a good understanding about how to split tasks.  Dog's are much more complicated than anyone gives them credit for and dedicated pet parents don't get enough credit!

I know it won't be easy, and I'm not expecting to be a perfect parent. All I'm just saying is I've got experience as a parent and I look forward to sharing my journey as a parent to both with you all soon!

    My name is Kim, I've grown up in this beautiful place we call Marquette, MI. I have always been a lover of animals and my love for them has only grown stronger with age.  I love all animals from mice to cows, to pigs and frogs.  Of course as dogs are the ones living most closely among us they have become my passion. I worked for a kennel for 2+ years, and I loved caring for the dogs all day.  Being a kennel worker significantly benefited me while I was studying dogs however the time came to follow my calling.  In April 2010 I graduated with my diploma in Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor from Penn Foster Career School, and have since begun building my experience in the field.  I am currently owned (along side my husband Rick -who is also in the dog business as a groomer, and plays an active part in TacoMo as well)  by 2 dogs named Rico Suave a 50lb adorable mix (His DNA came back as one parent being 1/2 Cocker Spaniel, 1/4 Pomeranian, & 1/4 Dachshund, the other parent while not confirmed is potentially an English Shepherd which honestly makes the most sense) and Smorzy a 50% Australian Shepherd/50%Shetland Sheepdog. They are a crazy duo and are not perfect by any means but I love having the tools to control their behavior whenever I need to. I love my dogs so much that TacoMo was named after them (Rico's nickname is Taco & Smorzy's is MoMo)! You'll learn by meeting me or reading my posts that while I can be a quiet person, I can also babble on forever!
