A Girl Named PJ

A boy and his puppy

theo and beauHave you seen these unbelievably adorable photos of Theo and Beau?

Every afternoon, Beau, a newly rescued 7-week-old puppy, curls up with 23-month-old Theo for a nap. Jessica, the blogger behind Momma’s Gone City, began snapping photos of her sleeping boys and sharing them on Instagram (#theoandbeau).

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything sweeter.

Even Levi and Briscoe aren’t that cute together. Thankfully, they are becoming more comfortable around each other, but I’m not sure I’d call them friends. It’s more like they tolerate one another.

For example, Briscoe will often join Levi and me on the sofa, but he usually plops down on the opposite side from Levi, using me as a divider. The couple of times he’s dared to get closer, Levi fidgets and doesn’t want the dog touching him. Heartbreaking!

Still, Briscoe knows to hover under Levi’s seat during mealtime, and Levi loves to feed Briscoe doggie treats and hold his leash when we walk to the mailbox. And every once in a while, Levi works up the courage (or the interest) to give Briscoe a kiss or a hug when I ask him to.

Baby steps.

I’m curious: Are your kids and pets more like Theo and Beau or Levi and Briscoe?

P.S. Our dog with Levi as a baby. Also, one of Briscoe’s nicknames and how a toddler a feeds a dog.

      Do Hudson and Sawyer cuddle up together? Oh, how I wish Levi and Briscoe would!

    Certainly not like this! (But we don’t let Sawyer up on beds or in H’s room.) Hudson hugs Sawyer a lot, and it seems Sawyer likes it, but sometimes I worry for the dog’s safety. H has no idea how heavy he’s getting! Might make a difference if the dog is a puppy? My parents’ dog, for example, has no interest in a loud, bouncy toddler…

    PJ, I have a post about this very thing sitting in my draft folder.

    Plato and Walden started out like Briscoe and Levi. Eventually we had to separate our dog and toddler. Over time the dog lost his patience for an overzealous 2-year-old. He often growled at him, which I considered a fair warning… but the kid refused to acknowledge the warning or listen when we told him to leave the dog alone, even after the dog snapped at him. Ultimately pets are still animals, so rehoming the dog (for now, at least) was necessary to avoid a serious incident.

    Of course different breeds have different temperaments, and “not suitable for a home with small children” was on Plato’s papers when we adopted him nearly 9 years ago. It’s so sweet to see Theo and Beau together! And I can’t imagine Briscoe behaving like Plato 🙂

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
