Puppy Love

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Our dog Lassie is eleven years old. She spends most of her days snoozing in or near my husband’s office while he works. Up until recently, the high point of her day has been going on her evening walk, and greeting our family members as they come home from school and sports activities.

About a month ago, our daughter and son-in-law and their two children came to stay for us for a while. Lassie has found a new meaning in life. It’s true that the old doggie is still quiet, but she is quiet by our 4-month old granddaughter, Carly. It’s puppy love for sure, since Lassie seems to feel responsible for Carly, and is never far from her.

    Awwww! Some pets are just so sweet to our children. I know because my cat is to my daughter with autism, they are best friends!

    Aw! That is so adorable. Our dog, Xavier, did the same thing when our littlest one came into our home.

    Aw … such a sweet ‘doggy tale’ … your ‘Lassie’ bears a resemblance to my ‘Zonker’ who died at the age of 16 a couple of weeks after I retired in 2001. They could be siblings for sure ;–)
    Hugs and blessings,

    I think that is amazing. Dogs are so loyal, and they always seem to know who the most vulnerable person in the family is.
