Mommy May I?

So Colin has become attached to the neighbors dogs. They have two Shih Tzu's who have recently become parents. All the puppies have been sold but 2 and they are SO CUTE! We have come to love these puppies and they also love Colin. Colin visits them at least 12 times a day. The minute we go outside he's over to see the dogs. He goes over to the fence and tries to grab them. At first it was poking out their eyes (which we had to stop), but then it was petting them and hoping they would lick his hands! He now sticks his feet between the fence so they can tickle his toes. Once they start licking him, he laughs and laughs. And of course goes back for more! The whole doggie family comes running when they see Colin and he has fun running back and forth and seeing them follow him. On Sunday we walked outside and to Colin's delight the puppies had gotten out! He had fun running around with them until we put the dogs back in their yard. It was so cute seeing them jump up to kiss him. And then to Colins joy he discovered the hole where they were escaping through so he would go and stand in front of the hole, slap his hands to his stomach and they would come out and play. Unfortunately we told the owners and they quickly fixed the hole. But Colin still goes over there and tries to get them to come out and cries when they dont. Petting them through the fence isnt as good as having them jump all over them. Every day we talk about buying one of them, but then realize how much they cost. Pure bred these puppies are expensive. I'm hoping the owners give one to us since we've rescued them from the dangers of cars several times! We hope to get a dog one day soon though. If you would like to contribute to Colins doggie fund he would be eternally grateful.
