Love the Puppy

 

When Gabe was about this age (13 mos) I seem to recall he was quite interested in Wilbur. He loved to try to mess with Wilbur's ears and make him twitch them. Gabe thought that was hysterical, and still does sometimes.

Gavin is more fascinated with the dogs mouth and tongue. He is always following Wilbur around or crawling up to him when he's lying down peacefully. Gavin just wants to pet his snout and try to grab at his tongue when it's hanging out as he pants. It is so funny to watch and Gavin is so determined. If Wilbur turns his head or scoots away, Gavin simply crawls closer and reaches for his face again.

Fortunately for all of us, Wilbur is still so patient with the kids (even baby #2) and really is gentle with them. Gabe likes to give him "cookies" (that's what we call the dog treats) and Gavin of course feeds him at his feet, nightly. We're so lucky to have such a sweet pet.
