Project 365- Day 9

Sunday was a pretty lazy day. The baby girl was feeling sick and we spent the day doing a whole lot of nothing. As usual when the kids sit down on the couch to watch TV, their dog Oscar joins them. But lately he's brought a friend. It turns out that our neighbor's dog has a bit of a crush on our little Oscar. She has been "dropping by" every day now to see him. We have lived in our house for almost 4 years and I have never seen this dog other than when she would run along the fence barking at our car as we drove past. Now she's become a regular overnight guest.

If you think that dogs cannot have feelings of love then you haven't seen these two together. I would often see them meeting up on the driveway saying hello, and then one day she just followed Oscar in the door. Now every few days I will hear a bark from outside and Oscar will go to the door and bark back. That's apparently my cue to let our friend in. The dogs snuggle together on the couch and follow each other around the house. It's pretty cute to see. And the kids love her. The baby calls her Friend and when the dog is not at the house she will open the door and yell, "Friend, Friend, where is you?" Hopefully the relationship lasts because I think the kids would be devastated if Friend found a new man.
