Puppy Love!

Little Dandelion has been wanting a dog since...well, forever!  For years (age 2 - 6) he identified as being a dog - eating and drinking only out of dog dishes, wanting to wear a collar and a leash, playing puppy and doing tricks for us, wanting belly scratches, etc...

Well, last week, we got a puppy.  He is the sweetest and gentlest puppy I have ever met and little Blackie has shown me how mature and serious my little boy can be!  It is absolutely amazing to watch your "baby" grow into a serious "big kid" overnight.

The pup is just under 8 weeks old, and we've had him for just less than one week, but Dandelion has already mat trained him, taught him to fetch and jump through a hoop and jumping from small heights.  Blackie will try to squirm out my hands and those of my husband to get to Dandelion!  

When Dandelion was 4 years old he saw a Super Dog agility trial competition on TV and has always said that this is what he would do if he had a dog of his own.  I think he is well on his way!

This past weekend, Dandelion painted a picture of himself holding a flaming hoop and Blackie jumping through it...I'm going to have to keep an eye on the matches!
