2 puppies + 1 toddler

These puppies  (our's and my parents') are adorable, yes?

So is the toddler involved, by the way.  However, this combo has the potential to be very stressful.  You see (in case you haven't recently owned one), puppies love to and need to romp.  And romping can be scary for kids, because it often involves some growls and teeth and rolling around.

Well, I'm here to tell you that our little Boo is not phased by it.  In fact, he desperately wants to be in the middle of it!  We have tried numerous times to prevent this, or to bring it to a halt, but the thing is, he loves it, and truly the puppies are careful not to hurt him.

We will have to keep an eye on them (all three, since the toddler needs reminders to be gentle, and that the puppies are not soccer balls) as they grow bigger and stronger.  For now, they're all having a lot of fun.

This toddler and our puppy have gotten into the habit of napping together, and I can't stop taking pictures of it.  Oh, the sweetness!
