cats and dogs

It has become a running joke among Ryan and I that we never want a pet. It's not that we don't like pets. We do. It's just we like them best when they are at other people's houses.
So, as fate would have it...Ezra seems to ADORE pets. Small dogs and cats to be specific. My parents have a dog and two cats and every single time that one of them would come into his view he would start squealing with delight. This went on for all 10 days we were there. It made us both smile to see Ezra get soo excited! Sadly though, the dog and cats did not have mutual feelings towards Ezra. They would dodge him the second he came into their line of sight. In fact, the dog would somehow bury himself under pillows so that he could sleep without receiving any sneak attacks from Ezra.
I got to my camera a little late, but this was just after Ezra tried petting the cat through the glass for quite some time...a happy arrangement for the cat and Ezra.

And here is Ezra inching closer and closer to the dog and the dog inching further and further away...



Everyone keeps asking us if we are going to get Ezra a pet sometime soon. Thankfully we can use the excuse that we will be going back on the road and can't have one...phew! Goldfish will be in our future though. :)
