Kids and Dogs

Today I'm sitting there watching my 15 month old. And she goes up to the dog and just starts to smack it (not too hard she's only 15months). So I tell her "gentle" and she understands and starts to pet the dog. Then the Adessa decides to go away and the dog goes after her... So Adessa just starts to run her little 15 month old legs off. So here I am watching my little girl run as fast as she can, and I can could think about is that she looked like she was running on a treadmill, legs just going 1000 miles an hour and not making progress. But Darwin wasn't going "After her", the kid just thought she was. Once the kid looks back and sees that the dog went to drink water she goes over to pet her again... Rinse and repeat.

I don't know what's more interesting watching my two kids together or watching my dog with my kids. If I call the dog, she comes running, if my four year old calls the dog, it's like she didn't even exist. But get the dog started and she quickly puts the kids in their place cause they cannot out run her.

And for the record 4 to 1 girls win!
