K's big hairy brother... :)

Beezer, who has been the center of our world, really has had an interesting adjustment time in the last few weeks. When I say he was stuck to me 24/7 for the last 8ish years, I'm not kidding. He's been our "baby boy" for a long time... :)
When we brought Katherine home, we let him greet her at the door after I came in to greet him and love on him. He knew something wasn't right, though...he wasn't at all "the same" with me when I walked in... He knew someting was different...
For the last 3ish weeks, he's had very little to do with me. He didn't follow me around or anything... He'd lay there and just look at me with his head on his paws... Doggie depression, without a doubt...
When we took K for her first doctor's appointment, we put her in her carseat to travel, and you could see Beezer's eyes light up. I know he was thinking, "OK...so they brought this thing in the house with this chair...if they're putting her in it again, maybe that means she's LEAVING!!!" How sad he was to see us return with her later... No such doggie luck for him... :)
In the last week, he's started to come around. He lays next to me now...and comes to sit next to me for a neck rub or for a head scratch. He's even decided that it's OK to sleep near me again...
He doesn't really bother Katherine...he will give her a sniff every once and a while, but generally, he just admires her from afar... :) This is a good thing; I was concerned about his reaction and interaction with K... So far, it's been great, but I still don't trust him...

I should probably give Beezer more credit than he gets... He is funny with Katherine... He follows me around with her and wants to always see what she's doing or what I'm doing with her. For example, on Thursday, K was back in our bedroom sleeping in her bouncie seat, and I ran to the kitchen to grab some water to drink. (Beezer comes with me; I never leave him alone with Katherine.) She started to cry, and Beezer immediately looks at me and communicates with his big, brown doggie eyes... When I didn't move quick enough, Beezer walked into Katherine's room to see if she was there. When he realized she wasn't, he stood at her doorway and looked at me in the kitchen. Then, when I didn't come to him, he walked into our bedroom to see if she was there...when he spotted her, he rotated his body and stared in my direction and wagged his tail a bit...as if he was trying to say, "Here she is!! I found her...can you please come and get her so she won't cry...?" When I got her out of her bouncie seat, he sat right at my feet and let out a big sigh...

And thus we learned two things...

~He must hate hearing her cry as much as I do...(Gosh, that rips my heart out...)

~K has a great big brother... :)
