DOGS AND BABIES..

I have a dog for a week. Name Beethoven he is gorgeous, as in a seriously pretty face. I like big dogs, but this one is cute.    But it's just taken me over an hour to get to the river, which takes about 10 15 mins.    We were stopped no less that ten times by women (and men) who were cooing over the dog.    This never happens with a baby.   We would have stopped far more times but I smiled and ignored in the end.  What do you think?
