Two Dogs Fighting

Yogi went to Jinenkan this morning and learned balance. He got a sticker that says "balance." I think about all that I've learned, and what stickers I might receive.

Another milestone: He saw two dogs fighting. "Look - they're stuck together!" And they were. Then they pulled apart, and Yogi exclaimed, "What the..? What was that??"

I explained that the large angry looking thing the dog was now licking was his penis, and that it had been inside the other dog and that was called mating and that's how dogs make puppies.

"You know the Special Hug?" (This was the limited explanation we'd given before about how people make babies.) "Well, that's how dogs to the Special Hug."

"What about humans?"

I explained that humans mostly do it lying down, in a bed for example.

"Do they get stuck together?"

I reassured him that they did not. This seemed to be enough of an explanation for him.

And that's how Yogi had his first real introduction to sex and reproduction.
