"Where's Ian?":
"There he is!":
Not surprisingly, the dogs are one of Ian's most common objects of interest. Here he is defending himself against Zrbrt, who characteristically is trying to lick his face:
Her somewhat overwhelming tendency to want to lick his face and lean on him for petting may be why he seems to like Lilo best. We're not sure how Lilo feels about this -- she is definitely more wary of him (and children in general) than Zrbrt, but she seems to be warming up to him. It's always her leash that he wants to hold on our morning walks, and he played a fun game with Doug the other day (at least it was fun for Doug and Ian) in which he walked Lilo around the living room using Doug's belt as a leash. She always seems to know that he is holding the leash and walks very nicely (although of course I am also holding the leash when we're walking outside!). Despite his interest in Lilo, Ian is happy to play with Zrbrt as well. He he is watching, amused, as she scootches around on her back:
"Where's Zrbrt?":
"Is she on the bed? No.":
"Is she under the bed?":
"There she is!":
Here we have dogs on two levels, chewing bones (which they spend at least a few hours a day doing - our nylabones are a good investment). You can see the pile of plastic and rope bones that Ian has helpfully collected and brought to Zrbrt for her chewing pleasure. At this point he was sitting and flipping through "The Cautious Canine", a dog behavior book from our bookshelf. If he's going to be involved with the dogs, we're glad he's getting well informed:
