My Odie

Every morning is a great morning with Odie in our life! He woke up with me for every feeding when Violet was an infant :) Now he's back to his good old 'good morning mama -love, Odie' routine... Which means he nuzzles his head by my side of the bed, staring at me till I wake up :) Then he assumes a backwards sitting position so I can scratch his ears and tummy :) Once that's done, he waits for me as I make the bed, then crawls into my lap on the floor as I scratch his tummy a little more (don't worry, I'm wearing shorts in that picture!) :)

Did you know that when you pet your dog, both YOU and YOUR PUP release 'happy endorphins'? The same ones that are released while moms are nursing their babies? It helps build a bond that's as deep as chemistry :) Super neat right?! I learned that on 'the science of dogs', a Nat Geo special :)

I love you Odie :)
