Showing Junior the Ropes


Since Newman arrived and turned our world upside down (we're ALL in love with him!), he decided right away that Betty is his momma. 

He suckles her every chance he gets. And not just on her tummy, whatever part of her is available. Like her neck, her elbow or her big ole butt... it doesn't matter to him. 

And she takes her job as momma very serious. She's raising Newman up to be a strapping young man. 

Starting with proper behavior while out shopping,

 She's working on getting him to sit still for a picture.

It's so hard bringing up kids these days!

Love,
The Smushies

Oh Betty you are doing a grrrreat job. I agree it is sooo difficult to bring up youngsters these days. What with all the stuffies and such available to them, not to mention blogs and etc.. I kind of long for the good old days when all they wanted was a nice bone or an old sock.

Hi Betty
I think you are doing a marvelous job ,,,just look at what you have done. You taught Newman to sit still for the family photo.
I think that is awsome.
You are doing a good job Betty

Mango, we're quite embarrassed to admit this, but since you brought it up... Newman did try to nurse on Gunther last night. Momma even had to move him because he was looking a little too interested in Gunther's weenie. We suppose it could resemble a ninny although we doubt Gunther would agree.

Hi Smushies! That's it - Newman's staying! He has to because Betty would be lost without him. I think it's so sweet how Betty has taken little Newman under her paw and shown him the ways of the world. Who better to show a strapping young man the ropes but Betty? After all, she knows best!
