Who Am I? What Am I?

Lately, there have been some things going on in our house that make me say "I wonder what she/he is really thinking".

Sometimes I wonder if Theo (our puppy) really knows he is actually a dog. I've caught him in the act of some weird things he does.

He climbs up onto the back of the couch and sleeps, he will climb up onto your shoulder and sleep, he sleeps on his back with his legs up in the air, and he climbs onto tables like he belongs there. Lol Another thing is he sleeps with Corey and I in our bed and usually when I wake up in the morning, I am sharing my pillow with Theo. I think my puppy is confused! He must think he is a human and maybe sometimes a cat.

Theo isn't the only one I come to believe may be a little confused. I understand when a kid finds herself in the mirror, she will most likely think it is another little girl on the other side. I don't think Kyleah knows what she looks like yet. The other morning, Kyleah came running into my bedroom and noticed a little girl in the mirror. (Our mirror is on the back or our bedroom door.) Kyleah kept opening it and looking behind the door and couldn't figure out where this girl went. It was adorable! Kyleah was talking to her and giving her high-five's, she thought she found a new friend. I told her to give the little girl kisses..and she did. All of the older pictures we have around the house of her, Kyleah will point and say "Baby". We try to explain to her that yes it is a baby, but it is Kyleah! It's weird to see her learn things, that I don't ever remember not knowing.

When we first got Theo, I wondered if we would have problems with Kyleah..well acting like a dog. I figured it would go both ways with the toys, Kyleah taking his and Theo taking hers. I guess you can say they share pretty well, except Kyleah doesn't chew the heads off of the duckies like Theo tends to do. And yes they do share Kyleah's food, just like on TV..anything Kyleah doesn't want, Theo gets. We've been trying to crack down on this, we noticed Theo was getting a little plumper and it obviously isn't good for his diet.

This past Christmas "Santa" brought Theo a new puppy bed. We placed it behind the recliner and for the first few weeks and still at random times today, that is where you can find Kyleah. I still don't know what she does back there, how fun could it be to sit in a doggy bed and stare at the back of a recliner?..But she loves it! Here recently Corey put Theo's bed back in the laundry room and cut up an old blanket for him to sleep with. I think we've found out Kyleah doesn't like to sit in it back there as much.

Usually every morning Kyleah comes running down the hallway ready for the day and ready for breakfast. This morning, when I was still in bed, I heard Kyleah run down the hallway and then it was really quiet. I thought she must have went back to bed, so I got myself woke up and checked the living room to make sure she wasn't in there. Nope, no Kyleah. I quietly peeked my head into her room and surprisingly...No Kyleah! I think I had a short panic, searching the house! When I turned the corner to the laundry room, there was Kyleah, all curled up in Theo's bed under his blankie! I think it was one of the cutest things she has ever done. When I hurried to grab the camera, she was starting to get up, but I was able to catch part of the moment. How adorable!

So Kyleah thinks she is a dog and Theo thinks he is a human!
