18/365 Best Friends

Brendan has a best friend! No, it's not anyone from our playgroup or MDO (although he sure does miss his little girlfriend that moved away) and it's not even me or Rob. It is our dog, Scarlet (he usually calls her good girl). He just loves her so much and im pretty sure the feeling is mutual! Scarlet is usually awake before Brendan in the mornings and she will sit outside of his room and cry until he wakes up. As soon as he does wake up, he reaches his arm out to pat Scarlet and he tells her "you such a good girl, good girl." Last night when I was laying in bed with Brendan,reading him books and saying prayers before bed, Scarlet was right there with us in the bed. It's only a matter of time until Rob and I get the boot and she starts sleeping with Brendan. They play tug-a-war together, chase each other around the house, they both have enormous amounts of energy, and of course at times they annoy each other too, just like best friends do! I sure do wish Chex was still here for Brendan and Scarlet to play with but at least Scarlet is still here and she is (usually) such a "good girl"!
