Spud as many of you will know is a only child, although he enjoys this enormously and I can't imagine him wanting to share me I feel sometimes he gets lonely. Spud is very attached to me, and I am also also attached to Spud, I truly do believe I have attachment parenting, either way our bond is very strong. I have 5 nephews and close friends with small babies, Spud gets very uncomfortable if I proceed to cuddle or interact with any other child apart from him for a moment longer than a few minutes.

I would not say Spud is jealous, well I don't know, what does he have to be jealous of!? Spud has me all to himself for many hours every day, just me and my boy, the way we both like it. I think Spud gets worried, I am forgetting him, which of course is not the case when I am just simply giving one of my nephews a cuddle, or holding one of my friends baby. I sometimes think how Spud would behave if I did have another child, I am sure through the behaviour I have witnessed I could leave the room and Spud would be hiding the other child's toys or something, I may not ever know if that would be the case though of course as I only have Spud, and have no plan's to change that any time soon!
There are some times when Spud doesn't get jealous, and that's when I have my Dad's gorgeous little puppies on my lap, or when I am giving my auntie's cat a stroke and 'cuddle'. I don't think Spud is ready for a sibling in his life but I do think he is ready to share me via an animal. I think a puppy may be too needy, and could make Spud feel unwanted so I think the best animal for him to have is a kitten which of course will in time mature and age into a cat.
It's been a very long time since I've had a pet, and I must admit I am excited at the thought of having a new addition to our little close knit family, although there is only the two of us, I know our new addition would have a fabulous life, I can imagine Spud playing with our new pet, and our new pet snuggling up to Spud's feet when Spud is sleeping.
Just like a child though puppies and kittens need to have toys to chew on/play with, milk/water to drink and food to live on. As already mentioned, it's been a while since I've kept a pet, and whilst looking for cute items and toys to spoil our new addition with, I was amazed at the amount of pet accessories there are these days! I reckon me and our new addition are going to get on ever so well as I love shopping and trying new items!
Until next time,
Jada x
