Puppy Love

Lately Carter has been fascinated with the dogs. He loves to watch them play and gets the biggest smile on his face if they come near him. Carter and Maisy have a new game together - Carter sticks out his hand and Maisy licks it. Carter cracks up every time. Maisy is in heaven since all she wants to do is lick something and Carter can't believe how funny it is to get dog kisses! Maisy will even try to sneak in a face lick (especially if she sees drool) if we're not looking.

Carter also started grabbing at noses and ears if they sit near him. Maisy, of course, loves it - more opportunity to lick little hands. Shady doesn't seemed fazed by it either, she has been very tolerant. Carter had Shady's ear in his death grip yesterday (I've experienced it many times with my hair) and she didn't even flinch. She just sat there patiently while he checked her out. She gave me a few glances as if to say "what is this kid doing?" but she was good-natured through it all. We're glad they are getting used to each other and becoming best pals. I'm sure once Carter starts cruising around the house the dogs (and their toys) will all be fair game!
