Doggie Love

Generally speaking, the only child who pays much attention to the dogs at all is Dries. Showing remarkable good sense vis-a-vis dogs, Dries prefers the much calmer Indie, even though she is so much larger. Today, though, they all decided to pet Indie.

Indie gives me the anxious look. "Are you sure they're safe??"

Indie relaxes. (Aw, look! Her head is in Dries's lap. I think those two have a bit of a Bond.)

Indie checks in with me again. "We're okay with this, are we?"

She's a gentle and long-suffering dog. Good thing, because this was an irresistible photo op!

Indie completely gives up and goes utterly submissive. "Okay, you win! Rub my tummy??"
