Big Dog...Louououd Dog...

Billy Boy is here by himself this morning. Bee has preschool on Tues. and Thurs. mornings, so he's alone with no one to play with. He's an only child and until a few weeks ago was always with his wonderful mama who is a friend of mine. As usual, Billy Boy and Bee set up their "house" in the dining room before she went to school. Because of that, Bowzer was standing at Bee's window upstairs where Billy Boy was playing when a siren started somewhere. Bowzer is a very serious howler, he does not fool around. He points his snout straight up in the air and lets it rip. We all think it's funny and sit and laugh at him. Bee's been hearing it since she was in utero, so it doesn't faze her at all. Billy Boy comes from a fairly calm home (very unlike ours). He was playing right next to Bowz when he howled at full volume. Having never heard that sound before, poor little Billy Boy broke down into frantic screams ( not cries) and came racing out of the room!! Poor little guy!! He's been doing so good the last couple mornings when his mommy drops him off, no tears, nothin'....he's not even afraid of the dog, which is amazing because most children who see a 130 pound dog are somewhat standoffish at first, he never was...until now...he won't even look at Bowz now. It won't last long though, Bowzer's the kind of dog that won't be denied if he wants you to love him!!

it's always fun to observe kids in nursery at church. you can always tell which ones have siblings and which ones don't.
