every dog needs a boy

Friday was a great day of getting good things done, mainly a few Christmas gifts. Lauri and I worked at her house on some gifts for our sister-in-laws and since mine frequent my blog, all I can say is that it involved some of this...Ethan doesn't mind hanging out at Laur's house at all because he loves Lauri, but he also LOVES Goldie, Goldie doesn't really share the same sentiments about Ethan, but she is such a good dog that she tolerates all the eye poking and tail grabbing just fine. While I was busy painting away today, all of a sudden I noticed it was really quiet, which when you have a toddler, generally means bad news. I turned around to find Ethan using Goldie as his body pillow and loving every second of it. Goldie doesn't look too thrilled, but maybe she was too tired to care. What a good doggie, Goldie is. We're glad that we get to dog sit her from time to time since we will never have a dog of our own. Poor Ethan, and Spencer, they are the kind of boys dogs are made for. I just hate the hair! And let me tell you, Ethan was COVERED in it when he stood up from his Goldie snuggle session. Yuck. Lauri and I took a self portrait when we were done but I'm never happy about the size of my head when we do this. Do I really have that large of a head? And it looks like I need to start wearing mascara all the time, Lauri has great eyes. Later Rich and I opted not to go out, it was snowing and freezing and we hung out and caught up on our TV shows on the Tivo. It was nice to snuggle up in PJs and just relax after such a busy week.
