Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is my brother.

Posted on by

They boys have a new ritual.  Melvin gets on the couch and shortly thereafter, Jake assumes his rightful position.

Melvin will lay down and Jake will awkwardly (yet hurriedly) climb over him to get to his spot. photo

Jake will smell Melvin’s parts, as many of them as he can. 

Then Jake takes a load off. 

Melvin will then give a sign that, it’s all good.

  1. Adorable! I love when (and sometimes it’s actually ‘if’) siblings finally snuggle. It’s happening in our house right now too! It’s a Christmas Miracle! 🙂

  2. Emily @ Our Waldo Bungie – Kansas City, MO – Daniel & I bought our first house in Waldo (a cool neighborhood in Kansas City, MO) and moved in on June 11, 2009. We live with Turk (pit bull mix) and Rufus (chihuahua/Jack Russell mix) and spend our days fixing up our little bungalow, fostering homeless pitties and exploring our city. Come join us on our little adventure!

  3. faithtrustnpups – Faith, Trust, & Foster Pups is a combination blog for animal welfare, humane education/positive training, recognizing the beautiful bond that exists between pets and their people, and other fun stuff. I share information about adoptable pets in the DC metro area, promote animal rescue and resources to support adopters and fosters, and share stories and lessons related to the dogs I care for. Much of my writing is for especially my "foster failure" with some specific fear-based issues. In an effort to help understand often wonderful, sometimes challenging dogs like him better, I learn to understand myself. Together, we share our stories, and walk together, leash in hand, and in building faith and trust within one another and within ourselves.

    Balton gives Ollie full body sniffs every morning for as long as I can remember. This morning Ollie licked Balton on his muzzle when he moseyed up to him for the first time ever. Tis the season!

  5. Oh my gosh, that is so cute! I love snuggling puppies. (But I think there’s just something about Labs – my cat used to lie in the same place with my Lab. I think they must be particularly cuddly and warm to snuggle with. 😉 So adorable.
