This little drama is repeated, oh, five evenings every week when the dog thinks it’s time for his walk and the boy wants some iPhone time. Multiply the length of this video by 30 to get a sense of how long such a scene might last, and you have some idea of why I don’t get as much blogging done as I used to.
(For those keeping score at home: Jake is 1 year old, Lucas is 5 years old. In this video they appear to be a similar size, but Jake weighs more than twice what Lucas does. They can, alas, match one another in volume.)
I like how Jake barks and then it makes Luke laugh. Such an evil combination! I can’t believe how grown up he is now.
Also, I know it is probably very dumb to say “oh he is so grown up” but I can’t help it. I miss getting to see him grow.
The difference is that Lucas will grow up mentally and chronologically. Jake, on the other hand, will remain a one year old, mentally.
To paraphrase Will Smith, “This dog makes being stupid look GOOD.”
Noticed among the background items: Now I know where those Nikki McClure originals went. (I have several posters of her work myself.)
