Charlie has taken quite an interest in Wesley, and, surprisingly, Wesley is relatively tolerant of it. Charlie likes to tackle Wesley when he's laying down and will chase him around trying to give him bear hugs. While Wesley puts up with it, you can tell he doesn't exactly like it, so we're trying to teach Charlie the meaning of "gentle" and "soft touches," and teach Wesley the meaning of "run away." But we are so thankful our dogs are good with Charlie. If Bella sees Charlie coming, she just runs away.
I love this picture of Wesley because it looks like he's smiling. It makes me so happy that our dogs have a backyard big enough for them to run and play. We spend most evenings out there attempting to play fetch, but mainly chasing them around and watching them (mainly Wesley) run, run, run. At our old house, Dave was very good about walking them twice a day, and they would ask for that second walk if we were slow to get them out. But now they have not asked for a second walk once since we've been here. I love that they have more room both in and out of the house to run around.
Bella wasn't sure what to make of it all, so she spent most of the time behind the chair in the play room. She usually camps out all day on our bed, but lately she's spent a lot of time hiding behind that chair, even when Charlie is no where around.
Charlie's getting the hang of this crawling thing. The other day he started working his way over to the dogs' bowl. Wesley was not a fan of that. In this picture Wesley is trying to pull the bowl away from Charlie. I'm just wondering how many times I'm going to have redirect Charlie before he understands the dog bowl is off limits. He also loves electrical cords, so I can't turn my back on him!
