Things to Remember: A boy and his dog

Mike is becoming less and less of a baby and more and more a little boy. He is becoming more aware of his surroundings, and while he still doesn't talk hardly at all he knows what he wants and how to indicate to us what he needs/wants (well most of the time). He also watches us and tries to imitate what we do - whether it be putting on hats (a game we have cleverly named "hats"), eating with utensils, or taking Sammy for a walk. He is truly a little sponge.

One of his newest things is to take care of Sammy. If her collar is laying within his reach (we take it off when she is inside because the tags are loud, and she scratches at it all the time) he will find it, take it over to her, and lay it across her neck. Also, anyone who knows Sam knows that she likes to be covered up and has her own blankets. Apparently Mike has become aware of this also, because whenever she is laying on the couch and she is not covered up he will find her blanket, drag it over to her, and do his best to cover her up.
