A Girl and Her Dog

It's no secret that Aurora and Mina have grown up together. Aurora is her person. If there were five people attacking each one of us...She would be the one Mina protected first.

I'm always so grateful that we raised her to be very...very tolerable of kids.

We made the kids sit down when we first got her and make sure they dug into her food bowl while she was trying to eat. We made sure they played a little rough with her to make sure she could handle living in this household.

She's passed with flying colors. Mina will turn five years old this November. We got her when she was 9 weeks old.

She is Aurora's favorite playmate.

I still can't believe, though, that with all we put her through as a puppy that she still sits still for this.

Dress up. Aurora LOVES to play dress up..only the dog gets dressed up though, and gets her hair done.

This makes me laugh every.single.time she does it. I finally was able to grab the camera and take a few shots one day. It's even better when she gets up to chase Aurora around the house while still in her getup.

Hilarious.
