Initial parenting suggestions

In a recent blog post by the parents of Baby Florek (AKA "Little Foot" or more appropriately "Kicking Foot"), the Momma asked:

"I know that I am definitely not capable of raising this child the way it should be, but with God's help I hope that Matt and I will be able to bring up Little Foot to be who God wants him/her to be. Parenting seems like a daunting task. Any major suggestions from those of you who are already parents?"

Well mom/dad Florek, since you've asked, I do have some serious reservations. I'm not a parent (I was robbed of that chance when I was just a wee little poodle puppy) and I may be just a dumb mutt, but I keep me eyes open (though they are clouding over lately as I age - I ran into a table leg the other day). Anyway, here are some suggestions I have based on some "photographic evidence" I've been able to accumulate over the years.

Suggestion: Teach them that nature can be bountiful in life's rewards (click on an image for a large view):



(note the beer near the momma. More on that in a bit)

And...




And next, mend your ways!

Suggestion: Not the way to teach KF that drugs are bad.
Busted.



Suggestion: Not the way to teach KF that booze is bad (oh yeah momma, you are just as busted as pappa)





Not only can drugs (pappa) and booze (momma)kill you, but they lead to S T R A N G E behaviour Busted.:



Once you are on drugs and booze you are liable to do things you shouldn't. Like breaking the law by picking North Shore wild flowers! B U S T E D!!!



We may be wondering now if these two are really fit to be parents. Hmmmm... I'll go look for more evidence one way or the other and post back if I have time (sleeping and just generally laying around takes so much of my time. Sigh).

he, he, he, woof!!! Woof!!!
