a boy and his dog

It was probably inevitable that Finn would become an animal lover. Both Shawn and I have entire conversations not just about our dog, but about the neighbor's dogs, if you can believe it. And there were rumors that orphaned kittens were living in one of the alleys by our house. Let me tell you, Finn and I went on stroller patrol, and if those kittens were there, they were pretty good hiders.

Finn really loves Santos. Really loves him. It is so cute to see. He calls for him first thing in the morning. He tries to get a befuddled Santos to play Thomas the Tank Engine with him. ("Here, Santos, you be Percy.") He comforts Santos when there's a thunderstorm.

While Santos once just kind of tolerated Finn for the trail of snacks that follows him wherever he goes, he really seems to love Finn, too. This weekend, we were all on the couch, curled up watching a show because everyone was sick. And when Finn laid down, he used Santos as a pillow. And Santie curled up even tighter with Finn. And we all watched Thomas.
