The Dog Whisperers.

This weekend we are enjoying spending some time with family in town visiting. Jami's Uncle Max brought his two cocker spaniels Zoe (brown dog) and Charlie (black dog) on their road trip. These dogs are the sweetest furry friends ever, and Luke and Reid adore them! This afternoon, the 2 boys took on the task of "dogsitting" while the dogs came to play in our backyard.

Jami suggested that the boys each choose a dog to keep an eye on. (Man-to-man defense sounds like a good theory!) Luke chose Zoe. Reid opted for Charlie. Upon returning to our house, the dogs hopped out of our car, and Charlie immediately took a bathroom break. Luke was standing over by Charlie, so I suggested that maybe he be the one to clean up after the dog. His reply... "That's not MY dog. Reid should do it. Charlie is HIS dog." Responsibility is a funny thing, especially when you can pawn the not-so-fun tasks off on your little brother.

The dogs enjoyed playing in the backyard, tagging along with the boys, and coming inside for a short bit to watch a movie (the boys thought the dogs would enjoy that!) When it was all said and done, 2 boys and 2 dogs were very happy to have spent the afternoon together.
