Best Buds for Life

I have been quietly watching the blossoming friendship of Lola and Parker. During my pregnancy, I always knew their friendship was inevitable but wasn't quite sure how quickly it would evolve. Lola was very curious the first few weeks and was a bit jealous of the new addition to our family. You can tell by the photos below that she was a little annoyed by this loud crying "thing" that took up all her cuddle time with mom.



As the months have gone by, the two have grown closer and Lola finally accepted Parker into the Fischback pack. Wherever Parker is, Lola is always close by. He has started to reach out for her to lick his hand, and is very surprised when he gets a slobbery kiss on the face. Most of our son’s laughing moments usually include Lola, which makes us laugh too. We were a little nervous last night when Parker, with mouth fully wide open, grabbed Lola’s face and ears with both hands and pulled her in….just like he would with one of his toys. You gotta figure out life somehow….right? Lets just keep our fingers crossed that he remains a nice boy to our family pets and doesn’t start torturing our little Lola. I don’t know why, but I have this strange feeling that he might take after his mischievous father.
