Animal Love

I realized that I have gotten so excited with park visits, trucks, family and friends that I have made almost no mention of my beloved animals at home. So this one's for you Hudson, Molly & Stirling! I love you for never even considering growling, biting, hissing or scratching me from the first day Mama and Daddy brought me into your lives, even when I pet just a little too vigorously or insist on cuddling when you just aren't in the mood. You have loved and accepted me from the beginning, although I have somewhat stolen the spotlight and taken up space in Mama & Daddy's hearts that used to be soley for you. You have cuddled, kissed and shown me unlimited patience and love, for which I promise to always repay you with pets, hugs, kisses, songs and lots of unconditional love (poop on the floor? won't bother me!) that only a little boy can give his animals.


Mama always tells me how Molly (who is maybe THE sweetest, gentlest dog on the planet, and will surely greet you with wagging tail and tongue out, ready to give wet kisses) growled and was fiercely protective of her when any male came anywhere near our house when Mama was pregnant with me. Or how Molly knew the day I was going to come before anyone else knew (we have had a special connection since my little heart started beating, so I was keeping her posted on my plans) and would not let Mama out of her sight, sitting under her legs and following her everywhere, just in case she needed her. Mama kind of knew something was up from the way Molly was acting, but didn't know that I would arrive less than 12 hours later!


All this to say, I love you three so very much and you make my heart full and so happy! You are the very best pets a little boy could ever hope for!

I love me some Stirling:

That's super sweet. I'm not really a pet person...but you kindof just made me want to get a dog for our kiddos. I think we'll hold off and get a fence first, but when the money falls from the sky for that to happen...and then when we get a dog...my hope is that he/she will be as sweet, patient, and loveable as yours!

This was great. I am not saying the others were not but Harrison is lucky to have animals in his life that are so sweet and they.
