A boy and his doggie.......

So, it's Sunday morning. Spencer and I are still in our PJ's being lazy and I am flipping through the channels. I narrowed the field down to two: Snapped(a show on the Oxygen Channel about women who have "snapped" and killed their significant other)or this beautiful movie "My dog Skip" based on the even more beautiful book of the same title by Willie Morris. Everyone reading this blog should know by now that I am a dog lover and swear that I will have a dog until the day I die. Anyway-I have seen this movie before so I know the story but I just couldn't turn away. Now, I HIGHLY recommended that if you are pregnant, the least bit hormonal-DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! Michael came downstairs to find me holding on to Hailey for dear life, WEEPING uncontrollably with Spencer running around the room with 10 hot wheels in his hands saying "bye doggie! bye doggie!" It truly is a beautiful film and makes you appreciate those wonderful creatures that we call dogs....
Take our Hailey for example-she is Spencer's best friend, his wrestling partner, his post to lean on and sometimes his tackling dummy. Spencer is Hailey's boy and she loves him so much. I can see many nights down the road where Hailey will find a new place to sleep-right beside her boy. Hailey comes from a bloodline of champion show dogs and could be show dog herself but I think she is exactly what she wants to be-Spencer's beloved "doggie"!




PS...yes, Spencer did pick his nose in the video!! Such a talented boy...

Back to Life...Back to Reality...

So tomorrow Michael and I have to return to work-BOO! But we have had a fantastic Christmas break-so I guess we can't complain. Spencer is really starting to imitate and use words and it thrills me to no end! He is also starting to put two words together like "bye doggie" and "hi doggie" Notice a trend with the doggie?? He FINALLY said "mommy" the other day. It continues to amaze me how quickly he picks things up. Simple things-like blowing a horn. It's just amazing! Anyway-he is a video of Spencer "feeding" the doggies. He loves to help these days. Michael and I thought it was cute! By the way-we call milk bones "cookies" in our house! :)
