Jake is a German Shepherd. Depending on how they are raised they can be fighters or lovers. He is most definitely a lover. When reprimanded he comes and leans against us to make amends. He snuggles likes it's nobody's business. He thrives on routine but makes the best of a changed schedule.
I often find myself saying to Jesse that if how Jake turned out is any indication of how our children are going to turn out then I think we will be ok. We will create a child who apologizes, who loves, who empathizes, who likes consistency but can deal with the occasional change, who can entertain themselves but ultimately just wants to spend time with the ones he loves, who likes the quiet down time, who protects those that he loves above all else.
It's a weird thing to think about - but I look at my dog and I love him so much...and it's just a DOG. My child is going to provoke deeper feelings of love and pride. Of course as I'm typing this Jake just shoved a new bone under the ottoman and pounced around and barked before he was able to problem solve a way to get it out...which he did cause he's just so smart!
Let's hope that I can give my Jakers the time that he needs to feel loved and important to me after the baby arrives. Jake is our first child :)
