These are Isaac's dogs.
They may be stuffed, but they're definitely important members of our household. Isaac brings them downstairs when he gets up in the morning and takes them outside when he swims or plays catch with Brady or reads in the hammock. They watch him play video games and sit behind the table at meal times. And, like today when we left late-afternoon so the boys could go play some baseball with some other kids, they sit at the top of the stairs to the garage and wait for him to return.
He may be a teenager, but I love that Isaac still loves his buddies like that. The dogs may not be human, but it's still a sweet, sweet picture of thick-and-thin friendship and devotion.
Or thick-and-thick...
