That was the first day I took him and Diesel for a walk, an act I've repeated many times since. Few things have brought me more joy this year than walking through the park with my two boys.
For all of Diesel's behavioral issues (and there are some), he has been remarkably good with Chase. There haven't been any major problems, and all of the minor incidents (tug on the ear, finger in the eye, hand in the water bowl) have been Chase's fault.
I'm extremely pleased that they are developing the special bond that can only grow between a boy and his dog.
In fact, Chase's first word was "dog." Ok, it sounded more like "gog" but Mrs. Bates said as long as he says it when he sees it a dog, it counts as a word.
And the other day when we took Diesel to the dog park (first time since Chase was born), Chase stayed outside the fence, but laughed and giggled and yelled "gog" every time the pooches came running at him.
