Here is picture of Baden, taken this morning, but it could have been taken any morning. He loves the dogs, they are his favourite people around here I think. I let him play with them as long as he is gentle and I also let him feed them so hopefully that raises his status in the pack order. It's very difficult to raise a child's position above a dogs (in the dog's mind) but all I can do is constantly work on it and keep an eye on them when they play together.

He is starting to call them by their names. Jimbo is Boo-boo and Apple is Ba-boo. I can sort of see that he is trying to shape the word. Could be something only a mother can see, but oh well!!
