Little Miss decided tonight that playing Doctor would be fun. Her usual subjects (Mr. Bell the Bear, Sara the Cat, Loppy the Mouse, and Mr Turtle) were all upstairs, and she wanted to play downstairs where Mom and Dad were. Daddy offered Longnose and Blackbear as subjects. Surprisingly, Longnose was much more patient and willing to go with the flow. I thought for sure that the doctor toys would end up in her mouth. But other than a few looks at me that seemed to say "Seriously, do you see what is going on over here?", she sat for over 20 minutes while Little Miss gave her a thorough check up. We discussed shots, medicine, bandaids, pumping pressure, and even being too tired. Little Miss had a great time. Our great big dogs are finally getting used to being ruled by a 4 year old.
(Longnose's face here tells the story better than I could.. DO YOU SEE WHAT THE CHILD IS DOING TO ME)
I love this! Would be happy to have another Dr Bates in the family. Would be thrilled whether she is a people doctor or a doggie doctor. :)
