Man's Boy's Best Friend

5 Reasons Every Kid Needs a Dog
1.)  Dogs are a great motivation (and example) to crawl.
2.)  Dogs are great tug-of-war partners, especially when tempted with stuffed animals.
3.)  Dogs will clean up EVERY dropped strawberry, noodle, pea, and Cheerio.
4.)  Dogs will also clean up EVERY ounce of vomit before you can even grab a burp cloth.
5.)  Dogs are great at pulling strollers.

Weston LOVES his dogs.  He thinks they are absolutely hilarious, and they instantly put a smile on his face, regardless of his mood.  He is honestly just as excited to see the dogs in the morning, as he is to see us!

12 days old - snuggling with Kenzie
6 1/2 months old - playing with Tucker
7 weeks old
6 1/2 months old 
5 months old
Unfortunately a few weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our dog Tucker.  He was getting too old and his back legs only worked about half the time.  Tucker LOVED Weston, so it was very sad to see him go.

We still have Kenzie, and we're hoping she'll be around for a long time, but either way, I think we'll probably always have a dog, because I'm completely convinced...every kid needs a dog!

  1. Amen! That is so sad about Tucker, I am so sorry. I was just thinking this same thing this morning as my girls were playing hide and seek with River. I can't imagine not having a dog even when you don't like them that much!
