The connection between AK and Bubba

This morning, AK was crying her little heart out in the car, and saying "Bubba" over and over. I'm talking big crocodile tears and snot coming out of her nose. I finally got her calmed down enough that she could tell me that she missed Bubba already. She is really going to miss him when we move out of the Mosers' place!

AK shrieks with laughter when Bubba kisses or licks her. I keep a pretty close eye on them when they are together but they are really good with each other. AK is learning to say "Bubba, shush" when he barks. She watched me pick up all of Bubba's poop last night and pointed at the bag this morning and said "puppy poop". She is very interested in making sure Bubba has water and food in his bowls.

She did not go down to sleep very well last night, in fact, I can't remember the last time I heard her cry this much in her bed. January, maybe? I ended up checking on her and she said her teeth hurt, so I gave her a bit of painkiller. I could really feel the one molar trying to push its way out so no wonder she was unhappy.

  1. Awwww. I think the bond between a child and a pet is so touching. Can you have animals in your new place? Maybe AK will have to settle for a fish. :P

  2. No pets allowed at my new place - plus I don't think I'm ready for the responsibility of a pet. Ha! Someday...
