On our trip home, Kaya got to meet both of our childhood puppies. It was her first-ever encounter with dogs, and I think it’s safe to say that she LOVES them!

Scrappy is 12.5 years old now and has seen quite a few babies. He’s a gentle giant. (Jeff also gave him a bath while we were there)!

Kaya wasn’t at all scared.

Socks is quite the opposite of Scrappy. He is wild, crazy, loud, and barks at everything.

And he has NEVER seen a baby, but he somehow knew how to act around Kaya. He kissed her gently, and would lay near her to be sure she was okay. If she cried, he would bark to let everyone know.

I’m so excited to see her interact with animals when she gets a little bit older. Maybe we’ll even be riding buddies!
