A boy and his dog

(don't tell Mabel she's the dog in this story...she thinks she's a people)
The other day I was working at the dining table and Aiden was playing on the floor....Mabel was relaxing behind the couch. From the kitchen I hear Aiden yelling, "Maabel....Maabel....Maaaabel!!" A few seconds later he comes toddling into the living room headed right towards Mabel. She got up when she saw him and headed over to my side for protection from little man (she's still not 100% sure she wants Aiden touching her, but thinks it's perfectly OK for her to give him big boxer kisses on the face....it's dog logic...don't ask). Determined....Aiden continues his chase ("Maabel, Maaaabel!!") and follows Mabel to the table where she and I were sitting. With outstretched arm Aiden held out a piece of Mabel's dog food that she had missed from breakfast that morning. Mabel didn't eat it, but the jesture was appreciated....evident by the wiggling tail...and yes...a big boxer kiss.
