A Boy and His Dog

These two adore each other.

Every night Rascal follows Nathan up to bed.  While Nathan reads, the dog enjoys an evening nap covered in soft sheets and a warm blanket.  I allow this only because our puppy is clean--two baths a week!

Nathan is learning how to care for a baby.  We will soon have a well-trained babysitter in our family!  After a tutorial on diaper changing, he chose to test his skills on Rascal instead of Caroline (who would not agree to it).  I gave Nathan an A+.  What a patient pup!

Rascal is such a person in a dog's body. Every boy (especially one surrounded by sisters) should have a dog. What cute buddies! I also love the celebrity look-alike picture. I think every girl had a crush on Karate Kid - watch out Nathan. You're turning into a very handsome catch!

So cute. Two baths a week!! How do you find the time? Nathan did a great job diapering Rascal. I can't believe he sat still long enough, Rascal that is.

Yes, two baths a week. Shih Tzu's love to be pampered. If Rascal is going to sit on my furniture and enjoy life indoors, she must be clean and smell powder fresh! :-)

The things we do to our dogs. I'll admit that I put one of my shirts on Raja, and rolled on the floor in laughter. Poor dogs!

I love the bed picture. Raja likes the bed as well, but he takes a little bit more room than that cute little Rascal does!

HA! That is too funny! I give Rascal an A+ for patience and letting Nathan actually put that diaper on him! I thought you were going to say rascal had to wear that diaper when he slept in his bed! ;) not a bad idea thoguh?!

It is easy to see the mutual affection these two share! Rascal will always be a loyal friend--and who wouldn't be with the TLC he gets!

How sweet! I love the picture of Rascal snuggling in bed with Nathan. What a very lucky dog!
