Every boy needs a dog in his life...

...and I think I've found the right one in Lilly. Young children perpetually have their volume cranked up to maximum 98% of the time and this doesn't phase my little girl in the least. I'm still diligently reinforcing "gentle" and Boogie is utterly fascinated with this dog. He enjoys her feet in particular and like to poke the bottom of her feet and the pads and between the toes. He only does this for a few minutes at a time and Lilly permits him and watches curiously. Today Boogie even found one of my pin brushes and I was showing how we gently brush out sheltie's tail. I'm so glad that my son will get to grow up with such a sweet and gentle dog.
