I've said it before but I'll say it again, our little cocker spaniel Chloe puts up with a lot. She gets tackled (with love of course), her nose gets sucked on, her ears get pulled, her eyes get gauged, her paws get bitten. All of this just Maelee's way of saying "hey Chloe your my friend, and to show you how good of friends we are I will squeal with delight when I see you, try to put your snout in my mouth, and lay on top of you." Needless to saw, she is extremely patient and does well with children. The bad side to this that we realized this weekend is that Maelee is used to rough housing with dogs now. She hasn't been around a lot of other dogs so of course its hard for her to understand that not all dogs like to be loved on or will let her (or should let her) do the things that Chloe lets her do. So this weekend when we went to our good friend's the Dishman's house for a bbq she had a tough time not wrestling with these two beautiful dogs Shadow and Shelby.
Shadow (the black lab) and Shelby (the tan dog) were very curious about this little quick moving loud tiny human. They did extremely well with her and Maelee did her best not to express her love for them as she does to Chloe (even though these dogs were big enough to ride, and Maelee was very tempted to try). It was lots of fun to see our fun friends Mel & Dave's gorgeous home, eat Mel's famous salsa & enjoy Dave's tasty burger grilling skills. We were thinking on the way home about one year ago almost exactly when they came to our house for a bbq. LOTS has changed since then I am sure they will agree that its crazy to think what a year can bring.....we LOVE the DISHMAN's!
