BFF

Kate has really started to notice Blake a lot more and engage with him lately. He usually runs away from her because he knows his hair or tail is going to be pulled. We have been teaching her to "pet nice" and "no pull tail" with Blake. He is getting old you know, he will be 8 in September. Since we returned from our trip she chases him more, pets him (but still pulls the tail and grabs chunks of fur from him) and she gives him kisses. While in Carlsbad we dog-sat a lab named Auggie. He has two "siblings" who we hear lets them do just about anything with him. Kate became really comfortable around Auggie and they played really well together. I think she is trying to do the same with Blake, if he will let her. Don't get me wrong, Blake LOVES attention, but in HIS own way. He is not much for the pulling and grabbing. He loves to snuggle and "pets" (or is it pats?) all day long. Since Kate is starting to interact a little bit more the way he likes it he is letting her get a bit closer and not freaking out at the sight of her. Blake is really enjoying the attention and licking her back when she smooches him. He is even letting her snuggle into him which is so freaking adorable!
