Morgan hearts Dogs

It seems obvious to me that, in this picture, Pepper (my folks' giant pointer/lab mix) has licked Morgan and she is squinting under the moment ago onslaught of a tongue that's twice the size of her tiny noggin.


But what the picture seems to be saying is that she's puckering up and my mother is having to hold Pepper back from that enticing offer of love (note: wedge of mother's leg in lower left hand corner of photo holding the beast at bay). If photos are worth a thousand words, this picture makes it abundantly clear that those 1,000 words could be the wrong ones.

WhatIS true, though, is that besides lucking out with a unbearadorable niece. . . the family has also lucked out in having dogs that are brilliant with babies. Both Cincinnati dogs love her to death (note: possibly yours if you move at Morgan too swiftly. . . just so you know).
