Combined, Eko and I have nearly forty-five minutes worth of babysitting experience, so we figured it was time for our first solo excursion to test our skills and give Molly some time to relax. First and foremost, we had to initiate Ceci into the Adventure Club.
Eko’s induction into the Adventure Club
And Ceci’s induction. Notice both Eko and Ceci give the, “Hey, you are not really going to let this guy watch me?” face
After the ceremony I strapped Ceci into her carrier, snapped Eko’s leash on his collar and we were off to the park!
Eko and Ceci demonstrate that the “I can’t believe I have to be seen in public with this guy” look is a cross-species phenomenon
Eko and Ceci commiserated about their shared fate and discussed the best ways they could make a break for it
At the park Eko and Ceci only had eyes for each other
“I bet I could ride him…”
The two cozied up nicely and Ceci wasn’t the least bit afraid
Eko followed my “gentle” command perfectly and he quietly let Ceci pet him
I tried to teach Ceci how to walk Eko, but she had lunch on her mind so we will save that lesson for another day!
At the beginning of the week I have to admit that I was nervous about how Eko and Ceci would get along, but I am happy to report that it looks like these two will be friends for years to come!
Eko and Ceci are just too cute together! You must be awfully proud of Eko for being so gentle and calm 🙂 And I bet Ceci is going to love pups for ever after the great week she just had!
adorable pics of both Eko and Ceci – nice job training Eko to be such a calm and gentle introduction to Ceci
They look like they have become fine friends!
Eko could only love Ceci even though he must share your attention with her-she is soooo beautiful! Ceci could only love Eko- he is such a handsome gentle giant! And you look VERY natural and comfy in this role, Will 🙂
Little girl loves are the best. Eko’s really going to make out.
Lucky you! Two of my favorites: adorable babies and equally adorable pups. I’m delighted to hear they’re getting along so well. Taking someone’s baby for a walk while she gets some rest puts you in the ‘sensitive and endearing men’s club’ They’re all lucky to have you in their life.
this was so adorable that you put tears in my eyes!! Ceci and Eko sure WILL be friends for life and you are gonna be one heck of a Dad!
This is just too cute!

Just don’t try burping Eko please. What a patient pup…and such cute faces on Ceci!
I’ll bet Ceci is a very good handler :o) Thanks for sharing this wonderful pictures with me…
Super cute photos….Eko – You have your very own human-pup! Aroofs from England.

Love the look in the first two photos! You rock Eko for being a very gentle doggie with little Ceci 🙂
love the photos!
hilarious 🙂 Very impressed with how gentle Eko seems to be with Ceci. Well done Eko!
I somehow missed this series of your posts and now I’m catching up. Eko is such a good boy! When Ceci grows up to be a dog-lover, her parents (and future partner) will have you — and Eko — to thank. Well done!
[…] Eko spent time with Ceci, Emily’s niece, who is just about 102 years younger than my grandpa. Eko and Ceci met in Chicago, but Ceci has learned a lot of new tricks since then. She is up and walking these days and at […]
