Bee Bee and Me

Bee Bee is our Dog, correction, she is Louisa's Dog. There is no doubt that Louisa is her master. It's only fair because Louisa rescued Bee from an animal shelter before we met. So naturally Bee is more inclined to Louisa.

My relationship with Bee has evolved over time. At first I was a stranger who couldn't be trusted. Eventually she began to tolerate me to a degree. Then after a long time she actually began to like me. I think she now considers me her playmate. I am the one who always plays fetch with her. In the morning she likes to play this game called "Bite Joe Joe's Hand". Louisa says Bee Bee thinks of me as her Butler. After all I feed her, walk her, and of course pick up her you know what. Louisa does these things too but to Bee Bee Louisa is Mom Mom.

I am not a dog person by nature. That is probably because I had cats almost all my life. Even though I was not crazy about Bee Bee at first she has grown on me and now I don't know what I would do without her.

Joe! This is super sweet!

Bee Bee is not only a dog, she is our kid, our family member and our best friend too! She brings tons of laughter to us everyday. Can't imagine living without Bee Bee for a day. Every time when we go out of town and have to leave us with her sitter... I am always upset and worried. I do not think anyone can take care of Bee Bee better than I do.

From a cat-person to Bee Bee's playmate, does that mean we can bring home a little brother or sister for Bee Bee? Ok... clarification.... Little brother or sister means another doggie in the house... not a baby. I have been working on my maternal instincts since we got married... so far nothing yet... I guess I am not gifted in that department.

My heart melts when I see a doggie on the street, but not so much when it comes to babies. The only image I have in my mind is: ketchup on the wall, diapers, baby gates and baby formula!
