Day 23

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."

~Roger Caras

Grateful for "The best boy in ALL of STORY COUNTY...and Grampie." and Grammie, but she doesn't like dogs...

So Coconut loves him Grampie.  (And its no secret that Grampie loves Coconut.)  However, this relationship has to be ripped on every time by Grammie herself...with "C'mon, really?"  And we usually follow up with something like, "Look how much Dad wants a dog, Mom..." and she makes that face.  THAT face.  I think its face # 435.  It's not a nice one.  We all know these faces by now, and we tend to giggle about them, and say things like, "Well, Grampie's birthday is coming up, and he would really like a fluffy Westie with a big bow tied around him neck."  ~Which follows with a "You God D......better not...we don't want a dog." ~Grammie...but....we all know that DEEP down...in the depths of her little heart, that she might not "mind" a dog that didn't shed.  (and she adds one that doesn't pee or poop either.) But..those weren't the words she used.  I don't know.  From this picture, it looks to me like Grampie sure loves his boy.  AND...it looks like Grampie agrees that this boy...aka Coconut....is HIS favorite, and the BEST BOY in ALL OF STORY COUNTY.  Its true.  Grampie, your birthday is coming up.  Expect a ball fo fluff or sorts from all 11 of your grandchildren.  ("We got him for youuuu Dad"....) ...Norman....

Westies are better.  Norman was bad judgement.  Westies are the besties.
