Well....Maggie has come a long way! When we first brought Wesleigh home from the hospital, she was not a happy dog. She started pooping in our bedroom, on the carpet, and in various places. She just came up with a bunch of not so lovely habits. At the time, I was busy trying to recover and take care of Wesleigh, so I was at the point where I would have gotten rid of her. I didn't have the time or the energy to deal with an obnoxious dog and a newborn baby. Well, luckily she started to realize her new role in life, and that Wesleigh wasn't going anywhere.
She still didn't like him, she would never have hurt him, but he was a total nusance in her world. She wouldn't go anywhere near him, she was just in a really bad mood for a long time. That is, until he started moving around a bit. Then he would move over to her and put his feet on her or play with her hair or something, and she loved the attention. She didn't care if it was coming from that "thing" that took over her house. But, then, the real love connection started when Wesleigh got to the age where he was eating food with his hands, which meant, he started throwing food over the side of the high chair tray!! It was LOVE at last!! She adores him now and especially his meal times! I like it, b/c I don't have to bend down and pick the food up off the floor, Maggie does it!!!

This was early in their relationship...he was about 6 months here...
Now this, solidified their relationship!!
Maggie totally invited herself into our 6 month photoshoot...and this quickly became one of our favorite pictures!! Too bad the dog needed a haircut in the worst kind of way!
Anyway, Jim showed Wesleigh how to play with Maggie with her rope toy and it is too cute!! They play together with it every night, and I am not sure which one enjoys it more...Maggie or Wesleigh!!
Moral of the story....We've come a long way in Puppy Play!! Little does poor Maggie know...her world is going to change again...soon!!!

You are such a good writer! I wish I was so creative. I wish we had a kitchen dog, just to clean up the mess! Maggie is to cute! Wesleigh looks like he loves that little puppy!
How funny! We have a Maggie as well who was not too excited about Ben. She still isn't. Our other dog, Annie, just runs around, sniffing his diaper. It is nice though at meal times when they do the clean up. :) Those pictures are ADORABLE!
