August loves Lilly...too much. Poor Lilly dog can't catch a break from our little guy's constant love. Wherever she is, August is sure to follow. His newest form of 'entertainment' is to try to chase her down and corner her with his little walker wagon. He has also designated her as his personal pillow pet, and when he finds her snoozing, he can't resist the urge to snuggle up against her. I can see from the look in her eye that she's being smothered, but being the good faithful protector that she is, she just sighs and allows her personal space to be invaded.
I never would have predicted that these two would be so close. I figured Daphne, being the young, playful, attention loving canine would be a better suited playmate. But from day one, Lilly has been by August's side. Whenever someone would hold newborn Augie, you could guarantee that Lilly would be nudged right next to them, overseeing the whole affair. Maybe having a baby in the house, has been a little stressful on our furry, unconditional lover. Over this past year, our 10+ year old Lilly has lost her hearing, and has more recently been experiencing some Liver and Kidney issues. It makes me too sad to think that these special cuddles may not see August through all of the hard-times that come with growing up. But for now I will just continue to observe this special bond from a distance, with a warm smile in my heart... no matter how loud Lilly groans.
