Mom and Dad told me yesterday that a baby is coming and I'm gonna be a brother sometime in October! What does this mean? What does an older brother do? Will I have to share my toys? My food? My frisbee? No, not my frisbee!
Will I get to cuddle with the little one? Better yet, can I use my herding instincts and box him/her into a corner of the room? Will Mom and Dad still take me for walks? Maybe I'll need to walk my new sibling. I've heard little humans cry a lot. Will I be allowed to lick him/her until the crying stops? If it's nose is warm and dry, I think I should definitely lick it.
Ooh, I just thought of something. I can teach my little brother/sister everything I know! I can teach him how to chase rabbits. I can teach her all about sniffing and finding the best spot to pee. Oh, and the joys of snow. We can run and bounce in the snow together. And swimming!!! I'll teach him/her how to swim! And tail wagging. That's a very important skill. I'll teach my brother/sister how to wag the tail for maximum effect.
Do any of my friends out there have little brothers or sisters? Do you have any advice for me? I think I'm really gonna like being a brother but wouldn't mind hearing some tips. Thanks!
Oh, here's the first picture of the baby (taken a few weeks ago). I don't see a tail. Kind of looks like a bumble bee to me.
