A boy and his dog

From the very beginning I knew Onyx and Cole would be buddies for life.  Watching their relationship grow has been amusing at times and also sad at times.  When we brought Cole home from the hospital we had been gone for 3 days.  Onyx was so excited to see us that she didn't even notice Cole.  About 30 minutes later she finally realized that there was some one new around here.  She would walk up and sniff him and then walk away and go lay down as if to pout for our attention.  She would do a "drive by" lick almost hourly just to say "hey your not too bad"  She was a trooper when Cole got mobile and climbed all over her.  He used her for everything and she put up with it all.  Even when Cole "discovered" her tail she never once raised a lip to him when he would tug.

Lately Cole hasn't been too nice to Onyx.  He stomps her feet, pokes at her butt, and hits her on the head with random toys.  So when I saw this photo opportunity I just had to capture it.  He was so comfy, but I do think she was a little more cautious than comfy....
