You've probably seen (or experienced) the little kids that are dragging the puppy around or pushing it in the baby stroller. Well, we are at that stage now! Lacey has always loved Sugar and Spice but she has a greater love for them lately, especially Spice. Poor Spice is exhausted tonight and resting peacefully since Lacey is fast asleep. Lacey loves to give her a bath which means a thorough scrubbing with baby wipes, a towel to dry her off and mommy's hairbrush to make her look beautiful. She feels the need to check her teeth and ears, while she whispers "hush" to keep her quiet. She sings to her sometimes or carefully lifts her long ears and tells her a secret. She also enjoys taking her for a walk which Spice quietly endures. She loves to pick her up and carry her around like a baby and giggles because the dog is kicking her legs and wants to be free. When she's really being ornery she will tell on herself by saying "mommy, I not doing nothin". Of course I come running to save the poor puppy.
She also finds toys or various items to "play" with the dogs. Yesterday she chose the bright red, long umbrella and decided to use it to make Spice surrender and came out from under the bed, which used to be her only hiding spot. Needless to say, the umbrella is now in the top of the closet so Spice can remain in one piece. Today, the chosen object was the Fisher Price bubble mower. She just runs and giggles as Spice runs for her life. I can only imagine this must be what it would be like if she had a sibling to fight with. Spice is actually pretty patient and long suffering with this crazy little toddler because she knows Mommy will keep her safe and eventually Lacey has to go to bed!
Sugar is just hoping that she won't start lavishing her love on her too :)
