Why my puppy is just as awesome as your baby

I recently read a blog post that said something along the lines of, 'your puppy sleeping through the night for the first time doesn't compare to my baby sleeping through the night. So stop comparing my baby to your puppy.'
I took a certain amount of offence to this statement.
I do agree that they are completely different things. But people just try to relate to one another and for some of us, our puppy sleeping through the night for the first time is the closest thing we will ever experience to your baby sleeping through the night. Our puppy finally being potty trained is the closest thing we will ever have to your kid being potty trained.
Now I dont have a puppy or a baby but I have recently lost both a puppy and a baby. I have always wanted to be a mom so when I found out I was pregnant at 20 years old I was suprisingly estatic. When I lost that baby and was told that the chance of me ever getting pregnant again were slim to none and being able to carry a baby past 20 weeks would be never happen. So I went home and cuddled my 9 week old puppy and realized that that puppy was the closest thing I would ever have to a baby. From then on out every new thing he did became just as exciting to me as your baby doing something new is for you.
They are completely different things, but never tell someone their puppy isnt as special or as important as your kid. Because to them, that puppy might be the closest thing to a kid they will ever have. Just let that 'puppy owner' try to relate to the excitement you get to experience with your baby becuse being a 'puppy owner' is sometimes the closest thing someone will ever get to being a mom.
