Doggy Blankets

The amount of love Toby has for our two dogs is unprecedented. Sometimes it's hard to wrap my head around. I had dogs when I was little, too, so I "get" it, but seeing him interact with them is one of the best things in the world. The girls get all the Toby kisses in the house but we don't mind because it's so sweet.

The other day I was in my office working while Toby played in the living room and Mike ran errands. The dogs were laying on the floor in my office, sleeping away as usual. I heard Toby come into the room but I didn't pay it any mind (normally he just grabs a camera off the shelf and goes off "photographing" the house). My attention shifted when I heard him say "Shh! Goodnight. I love you"   followed by the sound of his lip-smacking kiss on a pup's head. I looked over to see that Georgia had been given some shorts for a blanket and Pipkin was covered up with Toby's underwear. Yep... there was our toddler standing naked (well, he was wearing a polo shirt!) in the middle of the room as he explained the dogs needed blankets to go "night night".

It really really was the sweetest thing in the history of all things. That boy can't go anywhere without giving the girls a hug a kiss each. I'm really glad he's surrounded by animals that allow him to hug on their necks and maybe sometimes sort of squish them on accident. They're so patient with him.

    1. Same here, Lauren! My parents got a dog when I went to college (I'm allergic), but I baby him whenever I'm home.

  11. UGHH like I said on your tumblr, three is such a great age. I have a three year old boy myself and so many times I hug him and say "Please don't grow up". I'm glad you're enjoying this experience as much as possible. The amount of preciousness is almost too much to handle!

  15. That is so cute and I agree its important for kids and animals to grow up together. Pets are patient when they know the kids since they were small and the kids in return develop so much.

  37. So sweet. I love the bond between kids and dogs.

    My cousin has 5 kids, ranging in age from 8 to 15. The fourth kid, who was maybe 6 or 7 at the time, pushed the family bulldog into her crate and got bitten because he was being too rough. His brother, who turned 12 this year, is cognitively probably around a 3 or 4 month old infant. He's confined to a wheelchair, can't hear, eat on his own, walk, crawl, etc. He grabbed at the bulldog's jowls and generally was being kind of rough with her without realizing it and the dog didn't move an inch. It's like she understood that he couldn't really understand what he was doing and didn't need to be "corrected."

    That was kind of a convoluted story but I think says a lot about kids and dogs :)

  45. Honestly, Toby just won the lifetime cute award. It's only given out once in a millenium so it's pretty prestigious. I kind of thought a video of cats on treadmills meowing along to some catchy pop tune on youtube would win. As much as I absolutely love cats, it is relieving to know an adorable toddler and two pups would triumph.
