Recently we had the pleasure of dog sitting my parents beautiful labradoodle Bobby, she is cracking on in years these days but with no pets in our household other than one fish Joshua has loved Bobby since they day he saw this big fluffy creature.
In his really little years whenever she was about he never took her eyes off her and laughed with what seemed to be no reason, once he sat upright he would do anything possible to get her attention and woe betide her if she came too close to his high chair …. he would pull and pull with all his might at the tangled bearded under her chin and would allow him to pull and pull with no complaints.
It wasn’t long since that while learning to walk she would try to heard him and often knock him over in her excitedness to be watching over him, well that along with her inability to gauge her own size ratio in favour of seeing herself as the size of a Jack Russell instead, although this only added to Joshua’s giggles!
This week now he is 4 he is much more robust and he doesn’t get knocked over easily and she quite likes the fact he is rough and ready with her … although after an hour of silliness between them she now has to retreat to a quite corner just to get some rest.
Watching his little excited face during the week we had Bobby as a house guest really melted my heart to see just how much he adores this crazy, slightly stinky woofer…. Equally as magical was seeing just how much she worshiped him, pining for him at bedtime and almost sitting on him when he cried after hurting himself.
There really is something special between this boy and his beast.
what a lovely post, and a nice week to look back on in years to come. Maybe when baby number 3 gets bigger you might well have to consider a smelly haory thing all of your own.
I love seeing the relationship between my youngest and our sprocker, he’s so patient. What a cute looking labradoodle Your folks have, I always wanted one as just saying the word makes me smile! #magicmoments
Aww cute pictures jaime! I grew up with a dog but for me its my cat all the way lol xxx
Ah they have a lovely bond there Jaime, my boys are just the same but I’m afraid I’m not a dog fan so they have to make do with cuddling the guests dogs that visit the farm!
This is adorable. I love seeing children with animals, so good to grow up with pets x
Cute! My boys love dogs – but I am scared of them. Makes a walk in the park interesting when they are going to stroke them all the time!
We have a much loved and very spoilt beagle called Nova and the boys adore her so I couldn’t agree more. Lovely photos too!
Aww so adorable x
Oh lovely; they’re quite the duo 🙂 I think my baby nephew and Stella will be like this. He is already desperate to fuss her and his little eyes follow her everywhere. She’s already very protective of him even though he’s barely 6 months old x
