A Boy And His Dog

Paw-Paw and Andrew like to spend their days together outside.  This particular day, Andrew helped Paw-Paw move the bird feeder.  He was more than happy to hold the power tools.

 Paw-Paw's little helper
Although he enjoys helping Paw-Paw, he mostly loves to hang out with "his" dog, Bella.  I don't think I've introduced you to Bella Black Dog. (Andrew named her)  This dog showed up at Mom and Dad's the day we got here from Hawaii.  It was really weird because she looks just like my lab I had growing up.  Granted she's a mix,  but she has the same white triangle on her chest and everything as my dog.  (Julie, my lab, died a couple of years ago.  She was just 18!)  What's even weirder...when we first spotted her, she was sitting by the fence, where my Dad buried my lab!  Crazy huh?  So we kept her.  She's a great dog and she LOVES Andrew.  She constantly follows him around the yard and stays right with him.  It's like she feels like she has to protect him.  It's really sweet. And Andrew loves Bella too! The first thing he wants to do every morning is play with Bella.  He says she's his "very own dog." So it looks like we'll be taking Bella with us wherever we end up.

Awwww, that is so sweet! (Thank goodness we have a fenced in yard, so there won't be a Bella waiting for any of my kids some morning!)
