A boys bestfriend..

Now that it's summer time and Trent has gotten taller and older, we've been letting him play out back with our black lab Macy. Before when Trent was younger Macy would sometimes accidentally knock him down trying to play with him, or her powerful tail would whip him in the face when she was wagging it...all innocent fun on the dogs part but it would sometimes end up in some tears lol.  Over the past few weeks Trent and Macy have become the best of friends. I always have the window open to the backyard so I can listen to and watch Trent and Macy play together, and the conversations he has with her are adorable..I should really start video taping it. When we let her inside he says "Macy follow me..let's go play in my room" and sure enough, she follows him back to his room. Scott and I thought it was very important that Trent grew up with a dog so that he wasn't afraid of them or wouldn't become allergic to them (if you introduce them to animals when they're babies, majority of the time they won't have allergies to them..so we've heard).  This past weekend we looked at every local animal shelter to get Macy a companion to play with on days when Trent can't give her the attention she deserves.  We have a playdate scheduled with another lab up for adoption tomorrow and if all works out...we may have another addition to our family this week! stay tuned...
