A Boy and His Dog...


Well...MY dog actually, but I share with you and your daddy.  Yes, Roxie is quite the pet.  She is not just a pet, she is a family member.  And to you, she is your playmate.  You love Roxie so much.  We always wondered how she would handle a baby in the house, but she is amazing and leaves no room to worry.  She is so patient with you!  You climb all over her and pull her hair when you try to pet her.  And sometimes you get so excited you walk up and hit her!  It is a loving hit...as loving as hitting can be!  You always get this high pitched exciting squeal when you see her.  And you climb on her, lay on her, and love her with all your being.  She loves you too.  She is very protective of you and watches you carefully.  She joins me every morning to greet you and she sits under your high chair at every meal.  (Mostly because she knows she is going to get some morsels that you will drop.)

But today...
I thought you out did yourself on cute puppy love.  I have watched you the last few days carry her bag of dog food across the kitchen floor to her bowl.  You do this several times a day even though there is already food in her bowl.  This morning I heard you digging in her bowl--which caused me to run to the kitchen to stop you from eating her food!--only to find out you had other intentions... You grabbed a handful of her food, walked over to her, laid the food down in front of her and giggled with delight when she ate it.  Then you did it again.  Over and over squealing with glee each time she ate the food you brought her!  How precious!  And I bet Roxie felt like a queen! 

OH, you never cease to amaze me.  Being your Mommy is so much fun.
I love you, Buddy!
