A boy and his dog!

I took this picture this morning as Nolan was outside playing with his favorite companion Wrigley!



Nolan absolutely adores and loves Wrigley. Wrigley is Nolan's best friend! He wakes up and the first word out of his mouth, "fffff" that is his term for dog-as he is pointing at his furry friend. He follows around Wrigley all day long, the two chase one another. Wrigley makes Nolan giggle, and giggle some more. He gives Wrigley hugs, and pulls her tail. And of course Nolan is very generous with scraps of his food. Wrigley is more than tolerant of Nolan, she loves him too! She sleeps outside his room at naptime, awaiting the little pair of grubby hands to grab her and let the chasing begin.

I am glad that Nolan loves Wrigley, every boy needs a dog!

A boy and his dog make a glorious pair:
No better friendship is found anywhere,
For they run and they play,
And they have their deep secrets for many a day;
And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels,
Who walks with a dog at his heels.


He may go where he will and his dog will be there,
May revel in mud and his dog will not care;
Faithful he'll stay for the slightest command
And bark with delight at the touch of his hand.
