Wish come true

(Carter "petting" Bryce)

Carter finally got what he's been wanting... a puppy dog. This one just happens to be in the form of his little brother. For whatever reason, Bryce has decided that he is a dog. A "puppy" to be exact. He says, "let's play puppy" at least 5 times a day and even when he doesn't say that as an intro to the game, when he comes up to me panting and barking, it's a pretty good indicator he wants to play.
So from everything to climbing down the stairs on all fours- forewords and head first, to filling up a bowl of water for him to drink, he has turned into a canine. He goes by the name, "Clifford." "Puppy" will do as well. He also likes to do tricks such as shake the paw, 'bark,' sit and stay, and the like. He is very talented you know. When he is not being a dog, he still out looking in the neighborhood for dogs to play with and feed bones to. We have one down our sidewalk that plays catch with the boys which is really cute and of course my parents dog holly gets plenty of love and attention from both boys. Probably too many treats however. We like to "borrow Holly" from time to time and have her at our house to play. This is fun until we leave and she scratches up our door post- some more. Oh well... my kids do worse to my parents house when they "borrow" them I'm sure. :)

(And every good puppy needs a dog house of course. We end up making these 'tents' to be his dog houses all over the house).
