Coexisting

Not a very exciting post, I realize, but I thought these were cute pictures of Shreve doing his best to get along with the children. I may have mentioned before that I've always thought he was a bit aloof, and that hasn't changed, but I guess he's come to accept that we're all just one big forever family, like it or not. He's good with children, as in he doesn't bite and will tolerate strange young ones giving him a little pet. But he's definitely not a big kisser or PDA kind of doggie, except with Mikel or me and usually only at the end of the day when he's tired or in need of some attention. Yet, he always stays close to us, especially when we're out at the park or someplace. When we're gathered at the table to eat, however, he'll be anybody's best friend. Usually, he doesn't like to lounge on the sofa while the children are climbing around on it, but on this day he decided he wasn't going to budge an inch for the children. Way to go, Shreve! You stand your ground!
