So sweet! This one puts a big lump in my throat. Dads always put other people first.
"Varmint"
I'm supposed to watch four-legged critters the ones that smell like warm grass and say baaaa, They never pull my hair although they do occasionally nip or give me a quick kick when I annoy them.
This one? I can't take my eyes off him for a minute. He's eating my breakfast kibble or pulling my hair or crossing the highway. And I'm always barking and pulling. Like a good friend should.
I'm kinda glad when he puts on these boots today. They slow that varmint down Just a little.
