The other is a Belgian Malinois that we got at age 2. He was a working dog in the military in Afghanistan and has really bad anxiety/PTSD. He wouldn't work anymore so our friend that was over there coordinated getting him to us. 7. Earliest childhood memory? I don't remember a whole lot except when I am shown pictures.

When we were dropped off at the end of the day, I left my backpack on the bus and had to fight through the line of kids getting off to go get it. 8. What is your current favorite show? We are catching up on Bosch now. I like that one and I like all the Chicago series - Med, PD, Fire. I haven't really gotten into Justice yet. I used to watch a lot of HGTV but we cancelled cable so I rarely get to watch it now. 9. Sweet or savory? Savory 10. How did you tell your significant other you were pregnant?

Yes I'm actually going to do it in person today. My parents live a few miles away for me. I am on my way to Buy buy baby now so hopefully they have a T-shirt. I'm sure they won't notiice. When I decline wine that's when they will know LOL

I bought G a big sister shirt and no one picked up on it. They thought I bought the shirt without reading it and it was a mistake 🙄 Lol it took MH pointing it out for my family to get it.

That is too funny.....they didn't have a shirt anyways at the store so I bought a book that said I'm a Big brother.....sounds like if T-shirts don't work then a book definitely won't!
Ugh haha I was thinking of doing the tshirt thing for our families too but it sounds like that isn't as obvious as I'd think? Haha
It's possible your family won't think you had a reading comprehension fail like mine did. They actually thought I bought the shirt without reading it properly 🙄 I say do it. They will catch on eventually.
