I am so glad we have the dingos. The muskrats. The Rodents. Whatever you want to call them. I'm glad we have the dogs. Jake, of course. But even Coco.
Especially now that Maddie is old enough to interact with them. She LOVES them. She plays with them, talks to them, and gets very excited when they are let in the house, as she is the one who hands out the treats. Her consternations are even better...her use of the word "NO!" with lips pursed and finger pointed is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen.
I often think of how different her life would be without the mongrels, and how much they add to her playtime and her education. She'll grow up knowing about animals and thinking of them as family, and I like that.
Funny that I think like that, since I wasn't allowed to have Dogs growing up. I guess I just want her (and of course Zach) to have what I didn't.
