A Boy and his Dog

When we welcomed Brutus into our home last May I had no idea the kind of bond that would form between him and Prince L. I think Hubby and I both assumed that Prince K would be the most interested in a puppy, and the most willing to help. Much to our amazement, Prince L and Brutus seem to be inseparable! There is not a day that goes by that I don't witness what you see in the above photograph. Prince L will softly sing "Love the puppy!" as he snuggles close with Brutus. The poor dog has been poked, prodded, and examined from top to bottom by the curious 3 year old numerous times, but secretly thrives with all the attention. Occasionally he gets even by chewing on Prince L's arm, or nipping at his clothes. There have been days when Brutus was teetering on homelessness as he destroyed bits and pieces of our home, being the curious puppy that he is. I would emerge from the shower each morning fearing what Brutus would ruin next. It would be impossible to tear these 2 apart though, so Brutus now has a safe, warm, forever home with us. Even if he does drive me nuts.
