Just walked in the door from a whirlwind day. Eko and Ceci are snoring in their respective beds and it is up to me to tell the tale of our trip – presuming I don’t fall asleep at the computer first.
This morning I was amazed at how far Eko and Ceci had come along in less than twenty-four hours. The novelty started to wear off for Eko and Ceci became increasingly inquisitive. The two partners in crime are finding the right balance that works for them.
“See. Will? I am being calm and gentle just like you asked”
Yesterday I showed Ceci one of my favorite places – the zoo. So today Eko got to play host and introduce Ceci to one of his favorite places in the city – Montrose Dog Beach.
Montrose Beach: Land of the free (roaming dogs) and home of the brave (Ceci!)
The nice part about Montrose Beach is that a section of the beach is reserved just for people. That meant Ceci could watch Eko romp with his friends without worrying about getting caught up in the ruckus. It was fun to see Ceci smile and watch her eyes track Eko’s gallop. I think we have the makings of a dog lover for sure!
When Ceci is old enough to build sand castles, Eko will make an excellent assistant
At the end of our trip Eko was so nonchalant about Ceci’s presence that she had to give him a baby-kick to the head to get his attention!
Eko took it in stride and blew Ceci some kisses before we hit the road
I think Eko will be ready to babysit in no time at all. I also think The Adventures Of Eko And Ceci might be the name of a children’s adventure series I should write!
Will, write a children’s adventure series is a great idea, you’re a talented writer, so pen it. Eko will be a fantastic babysitter for YOUR kids one day.
I am too wild with kids, but my big sis is great with them and she watches over them too. Eko is doing a great job!
YAY Eko and Ceci!! I LOVE how she is looking at him in the first photo!
Will, you are talented as a writer… I always enjoy reading your posts. I think tur on is right… I could see book about the adventures of Eko. I love your photos, too!
Love these pic of Eko and the baby…dogs and babies are always adorable!!!! So happy for all of you!!!!
I’ll pre-order now! 🙂
Wonderful to introduce Ceci to animals at her age. Children who grow up with pets are more gentle and nurturing. I love her chubby little arms. Sorry Eko, you’ve got some real competition for the ‘cuteness factor’ today.
It’s so nice that Eko has a new long lasting friend now. It’s great how most dogs are with babies and young kids, especially when they pull and tug on anything and everything on a dog and the dog just puts up with it. Can’t wait to read more of The Adventures of Eko and Ceci .
Looks like you had a gorgeous day!
Eko looks entranced with Ceci. I’ve done my thing with kids. When Miss Eight was five and Zac was around it was me who had to do the running and the playing. Now I’ve passed that duty onto the pup and he loves it so I get to sleep whenever she’s over 🙂
All works out perfectly.
Such a lovely day you guys had:-)
Eko is just great, I wonder how sensitive he acts – what a wonderful guy. I’m green with envy about your fabulous beach-weather (we have rain, wind and siberian temperatures)
I’m looking forward to the book!
Ceci is so cute!
I don’t dare to bring kids close to Doggy, he doesn’t like to be petted.
Looking forward to “The Adventures Of Eko And Ceci”
Eko – your natural Ridgeback gentleness with your beautiful human-pup Ceci is definitely coming out. Us Ridgebacks are magic with our human-pup friends…Remember when Ceci gets a little older she will drop many yummy food treats on the floor for you. heehee
How lovely! 🙂
