This boy and this dog. Always together. Always.
An amazing relationship that makes my heart swell.
I asked him one day (when remembering what loving my own dogs felt like) if his heart 'hurt' or 'tumble' when he looked at Olivia and squeezed and hugged her like he does. He said yes. I said...that's love. And a wonderful expression of it, too.
I love that he has something like this to love so much. Makes MY heart swell.
(Picture taken early in the morning before anyone else was up...kids, that is...and just me and him talking on the back porch...a perfect summertime memory for him and me that we've had every morning this week.)
