Cait's dog...

So I am led to believe that Aspen is now Cait's dog. About two weeks ago, we had Cait sitting in her bumbo chair and Aspen laid down beside her and the next thing I know Cait is petting Aspen, very gently moving her hand back and forth across her fur on her back. Well Cait has wanted to pet her a few more times and I have had to correct Aspen once or twice about growling at Cait (and when she growls it's very low rumbles and she has never followed through, so don't worry about any dog attacks... Aspen knows better). So tonight, Cait's sitting on the floor and Aspen comes and lays down at her feet. The pictures to follow show their interaction!


This is where Aspen decided to lay down while Cait was on the floor...

This is where Cait "smacked" Aspen on the bridge of her nose and Aspen just laid there....

This is where Aspen got tired of lying on her side and decided her back would be much better, I guess trying to get Cait to rub her belly... she likes that a lot too...

And this is where Cait and Aspen met forehead to nose and just kinda sat there for a minute.

Then shortly after that Aspen had enough of the playtime inside and decided she needed to commune with nature. I definitely praised her a lot for being so good with Cait, whom I guess she has decided is her baby! Aspen has always, from the day we brought Cait home, been very protective of her. She even "cries" when Cait cries because it bothers her that she's unhappy! It's pretty amazing actually!
