A girl and her dog

Saylor, Samson and I were enjoying the weather this morning and I snapped this picture on my phone. I tried for a while to get a cute picture with both of them, but a squirmy toddler and squirmy dog are hard to capture--especially with a slightly sluggish iphone camera! She adores Samson. She shares all of her toys with him, she thinks he should enjoy tupperware and big plastic spoons as much as she does and never gives up trying to show him all the cool things she finds in the cabinets, and she gives him numerous hugs daily.

He doesn't quite show the same enthusiasm. He lets her pull his lips, his tail, his hair without the slightest aggravation....but just doesn't find her quite that interesting. I can't blame the pup. Our once over-the-top love for him dwindled when our sweet girl got here and he doesn't get near the attention he used to. But he entertains her for hours and he is very tolerant of her excitement for him, so I guess we'll keep him!




*Please dont judge my hideous yard! Someone is scheduled to come out and spray for all those weeds. We are inexperienced in this type of grass or these kinds of weeds and are not sure where to start, so we are letting a professional do it! And how are my parents already mowing their lawn in Amarillo?? NOT fair! The grass around here is showing no signs of turning green any time soon. We are living in a more humid climate now, you would think the grass would be green longer, but we have found that is not the case. Our grass was pretty much dead when we moved in the end of October, so we are ready for some lush GREEN grass to play in! (Wow, I really rambled for a while about some grass :)
