Kitty
A dog named Kitty. A boy dog with a girl’s name. A species-confused, overly vocal, Kleenex-and-paper-towel-eating canine. My first fur baby. And a terribly broken heart after saying good-bye.
Package Deal
Nothing makes me angrier than when someone relegates their dog to second-class citizen the moment Human Baby arrives. Or worse yet, gets rid of it.
“Do NOT compare your dog to my child.”
As long as I remain childless, my dog will continue to be my Infertile Girl’s Equivalent to a real baby.
About Me
Hiya! I'm Lydia, aka Peanut Mom. I live in Iowa with my husband and two pretty amazing iVF babies, both the result of frozen transfers. My daughter "Peanut" is seven and my son "Squeak" is five. Here I write about parenting, life as a midwest mama, embryo donation, infertility, a sprinkling of DIY projects, and life's absurdity with a big helping of humor. Welcome!
