Dog Days

Kate and the dogs have always gotten along, but over the past few months we have really enjoyed watching their relationship develop.  Kate loves all animals, but especially dogs.  Anytime we see one while out and about, she gets really excited, flaps her arms and barks at them.  She and Emily have a special relationship, and Kate gets more excited to see Emily than Baxter.  Emily will also go up and check on her in her room when she's napping - most of the time she ends up waking her up!  Baxter is the one that will let her do whatever she wants to him though.  We have joked for a while that Kate is going to grow up thinking that she is a dog, but sometimes I think this is actually true!
