Our Canis lupus familiari

Before Miss A, the baby of the household was our sweet shepherd, Magnus. Who knows what kind of "crazy dog people" we might have become if God hadn't given us Miss A to fuss over all the time. I would probably be trying to dress him up in costumes and clothes and maybe even coordinating his collars and leashes to match our outfits! Perhaps we would be the type of folks who wore clothing of our dog's likeness and hung out with other people who were "shepherd people" too!!

Anyway, once Miss A arrived, Magnus has kind of taken a backseat to her. I mean, we still love him and fuss over him but it's hard for him to be the center of attention when you've got Miss A doing cool things like spontaneous dancing (see the last posting for video of this).

As it turns out, Miss A has decided that Magnus is one of her best buddies. She LOVES to cuddle up to him, pet him, follow him around, and talk to him. Within the last few weeks she even learned how to say his name instead of just referring to him as "dog."

Miss A definitely can't get enough of him sometimes! He (obviously) loves her but usually just tolerates her way of loving him in return. :)
