Thou shalt not compare

Oooh? How old is he? Really? He looks so big . Slyly nudges the spouse and whispering- how can it be? Look at his legs and hands? So strong.
What do you feed him? Oh, only home made food? Does he eat well? Really? Meat/eggs?
And what about his hair? Do you use a special shampoo? Or natural shampoos? What about the oiling / combing? How often do you brush him?
Doctor? Which doctor do you take him to? Is he good?
Oh, no no nothing like that. He is such a cutie pie. Was just asking.
And then a long session in the car- what are we doing wrong. She is only half that size. And that one is three months younger also!! Maybe we should give some supplements? Shall we change the doctor? Did you see the colour of his hair? Such a rich tinge. What are we doing wrong? Why isn’t she like him?
There is a hint of remorse as to how could this have happened. Something went wrong somewhere…
We don’t do this with Mowgli.
Then WHY do we this with Cocoa? Compare her to every damn golden retriever we see!!!!
