From the very beginning, I hoped that Lennie would adore Zach. As you can see from their first photo together, there was a little distance between them. Lennie was a little unsure of this swaddled thing that made strange screeching noises at varying intervals. He was also a little disappointed that Mommy and Daddy seemed more interested in holding this new arrival, than playing with Mr McQuackin. (Lennie's stuffed duck).
Although the start of this brotherhood was a little rocky for all involved, Lennie and Zach have learned to become the best of friends. The two of them love to stare out the window as people walk by, Lennie barks and Zach laughs. Last week when the weather was nice, I decided to take Z out for some fresh air, but he wouldn't hear of going without his pal, Len. This is what I found, waiting for me by the door.
And who could say no to this face:
It seems that no matter what day it is, Zach favorite toy is the one that Lennie wants to play with. For a long time we thought Zach wanted to play with Lennie's toy, but lately it's become very clear that what Zach wants more than anything is to play with Lennie.
And like the wonderful older brother he is, Lennie always obliges.
Of all the wonders I've seen, there is nothing in the world like the love of a boy for his dog!
